Monument record MDO40156 - Possible prehistoric field system, Knowlton, Woodlands, Wimborne St Giles
Please read our guidance about the use of Dorset Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
A series of banked linear features at Knowlton are visible on current Lidar imagery. The linears run parallel and perpendiular to each other on a broadly southwest to northeast alignment and are presumed to represent a field system of possible prehistoric origin, although a later date is also possible. The features were digitally plotted by the Dorset Stour NMP project.

Full Description
A series of banked linear features at Knowlton are visible on current Lidar imagery (1).
The linears run parallel and perpendiular to each other on a broadly southwest to northeast alignment and are presumed to represent a field system of possible prehistoric origin, although a later date is also possible. The field system is almost certainly part of a wider contemporary field system extending to the north and west (MDO40157 and MDO40151).
The features were digitally plotted by the Dorset Stour NMP project.
