Summary
Parallel cultivation marks are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs taken in the 1940's under what is now a trading estate at Cobham Road, Stephill. The features are very straight and closely-spaced and are likely to be the result of post medieval steam ploughing or drainage. The site was digitally plotted during the Dorset Stour NMP.
