Please read our .

Summary

An extensive system of banked field boundaries is visible as low earthworks on lidar imagery. The system covers an area of over 25 hectares within Pamphill to the east of the Roman road (MDO43946) and north of Lodge Farm. The lynchets underlie the modern field pattern and are on a different alignment suggesting a much earlier date. The features were digitally plotted during the Dorset Middle Stour Catchment AI&M Project.
