Monument record MDO48984 - Undated field boundaries, Wolfeton Clump, Charminster

Three parallel banked linears are visible as low earthworks on lidar imagery to the east of Wolfeton Clump, Charminster. The features are of uncertain date and may be the remains of medieval strip fields or of earlier prehistoric origin. They were digitally recorded during the Upper Cerne and Piddle Valleys AIM project.

A series of banked linears are visible as low earthworks on aerial photographs and lidar imagery running along the slope on the north side of Little Puddle Bottom, Piddlehinton. The features appear to underly the field boundaries described in MDO48981 and are therefore considered to be lynchets of medieval or prehistoric origin. They were digitally recorded during the Upper Cerne and Piddle Valleys AIM project. <1-2>
