Full Description
'(19) CULTIVATION REMAINS. There were formerly three open fields in the parish, but the small acreages recorded in the 16th century indicate that a great deal of enclosure had already taken place (H.L.Gray: English Field Systems, 1915, Appx. II, 442; and Dorset Procs., Vol. LXXIII, 1951, 117). Ridge-and-furrow can be seen on air photographs (R.A.F. CPE/UK 1974: 2161-4 and 2018, 3213-7, 4190-4) in a number of places in the parish (e.g. 780169 and 790058-793163); it all appears to have lain within the existing fields'. (1)
