Full Description
Strip lynchets centred at … ST 8663 0815 (B) Several irregularly spaced lynchets very pronounced and probably Medieval in origin. These lynchets are set in a NW-SE direction upon a fairly steep slope above the River Stour.
Parallel bankfeatures are visible as earthworks on lidar imagery and were digitally plotted during the Dorset Middle Stour AIM Project [4]. They are considered to be the remains of medieval strip fields [and are likely to be a contunation of those described in MDO4807.
