Monument record MDO47003 - Possible medieval field boundaries and ridge and furrow, Lytchett Matravers

Ridged and ditched linear features to the northeast of St Mary's Church, Lytchett Matravers, are visible as earthworks on 1940s aerial photographs and on current Environment Agency lidar imagery. The features are associated with banked linear boundaries and might be those of ridge and furrow and field boundaries of potentially medieval origin. They were digitally plotted during the Dorset Middle Stour AIM project.
