Full Description
Ditched linear features at Canford Magna are visible on 1940s aerial photographs (1).
The features are narrow and rectilinear in form and they sub-divide two historic enclosures recorded on the OS 1st Edition map and whose slightly sinuous boundaries may be medieval in origin (2).
The features are presumed to be historic field boundaries of probable post medieval date although an earlier origin is possible.
The site is still open ground on current Google Earth imagery but the features are no longer visible; modern boundaries along a similar line to some of the features are evident but these appear to be of different character. The features were digitally plotted by the Dorset Stour NMP.
