Monument record MDO38553 - Historic field boundaries, Knapp Farm Broadwindsor
Please read our guidance about the use of Dorset Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
Two historic banked field boundaries to the southwest of Knapp Farm are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs of the 1940s and 1970s. The banks are positioned on the crest and southeast facing slope of a low rise in the corner of a field and their slightly curvilinear form may suggest field boundaries of a medieval or later origin. The site was digitally plotted during the Marshwood Vale NMP.
