Monument record MDO42851 - Medieval strip field boundaries, Frampton, Frampton

Banked linear features are visible as earthworks on 1940s aerial photographs and on current Lidar imagery to the north of Frampton. The features may be strip field boundaries of medieval date, although some may have an older, potentially late prehistoric origin. They were digitally plotted during the Dorset Upper Frome AIM project.

Banked linear features are visible as earthworks on 1940s aerial photographs and on current Lidar imagery to the north of Frampton (1, 2). The features are broad and slightly curvilinear in character and are positioned close together on a broadly SSE-NNW axis. They may be strip field boundaries of medieval date, although some may have an older, potentially late prehistoric origin as they are within an area of extensive Iron Age/Romano-British field systems. The features were digitally plotted during the Dorset Upper Frome AIM project.
