Monument record MDO39014 - Post medieval or early 20th century cultivation marks, Common Farm, Burstock
Please read our guidance about the use of Dorset Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
Several units of narrow ridge and furrow to the south of Common Farm, Burstock, are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs of the 1940s. The narrow width of the ridges indicate a probable post medieval origin, although they may be the result of late 19th to early 20th century date steam ploughing. The site was digitally plotted during the Marshwood Vale NMP.

Full Description
Several units of narrow cultivation marks to the south of Common Farm, Burstock, are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs of the 1940s (1). The narrow 4m width of the ridges indicate a probable post medieval origin, although they may be the result of late 19th to early 20th century steam ploughing. The marks are still faintly visible in places on an aerial photograph taken in 1971 (2) but are not so evident on the latest Google Earth imagery (3). The site was digitally plotted during the Marshwood Vale NMP.
