Full Description
Areas of parallel cultivation marks on the Leaze, Wimborne Minster, are faintly visible on 1940s aerial photographs and on current Lidar imagery (1 and 2).
The features comprise fairly well-defined parallel ridges and ditches, the ridges set around 4.5m to 5m apart, the ditches around 1m wide. The cultivation marks are situated in the southern section of a historic enclosure recorded on the OS 1st Edition map, to the southwest of a deserted medieval settlement (MDO6243). There are additional areas of cutivation marks to the north and east (MDO41022), which are less well-defined but are probably those of medieval ridge and furrow. These features are more likely to be those of post medieval narrow ridge and furrow.
The features were digitally plotted by the Dorset Stour NMP.
