Monument record MDO44540 - 20th century building, Pimperne
Please read our guidance about the use of Dorset Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
A roofless building and several small adjacent structures are visible in a field to the east of Pimperne on an aerial photograph dated 1944. A trackway (MDO44542) is visible as an earthwork on the same photo, giving access to the building complex from Hyde Farm to the west along the north side of a historic field boundary. The features are not shown on any historic mapping, suggesting a probable late 19th century to early 20th century origin. Whether military or agricultural in nature is not certain. The features were digitally plotted during the Dorset Middle Stour AIM project.
