Full Description
Banked linear and curvilinear features are visible as earthworks on the west side of Tarrant Rushton airfield on Environment Agency lidar imagery [1]. The features broadly align with the historic field pattern but their wide form may indicate older features. They may be field boundaries of later prehistoric date, although a medieval-post medieval origin is also possible. They were digitally plotted during the Dorset Middle Stour AIM project.
