Full Description

Field boundaries visible as cropmarks and earthworks on aerial photographs {1-2}. The features overlie the remains of a prehistoric field system (MDO3414). They appear to respect the modern field pattern and are therefore likely to be medieval or later in date. They were digitally plotted during the South Dorset Ridgeway Mapping Project.
