Please read our guidance about the use of Dorset Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
Three units of narrow ridge and furrow are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs taken in 1947-8 to the north of Bridge Farm. The features may be the result of post medieval cultivation although later 20th century ploughing is possible. The cultivation ridges have since been plough-levelled and are not visible on recent Google Earth imagery. The features were digitally plotted during the Marshwood Vale NMP.

Full Description
Three units of narrow ridge and furrow are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs taken in 1947-8 to the north of Bridge Farm (1-2). The spacing between the ridges is 4m so too wide for modern ploughing but much narrower than medieval ridge and furrow; the features may therefore be the result of post medieval cultivation although later 20th century ploughing is possible. The cultivation ridges have since been plough-levelled and are not visible on recent Google Earth imagery (3), they were digitally plotted during the Marshwood Vale NMP.
