Please read our guidance about the use of Dorset Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
Two units of post medieval cultivation marks to the north of Whetham Farm are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs of the 1940s. The relatively narrow width of the cultivation marks suggests a probable post medieval date, although an earlier date is possible. The site was digitally plotted during the Marshwood Vale NMP.
