'(12) Cultivation Remains. A three-field system appears to have been in existence in the mid 14th century (Dorset I.P.M., Vol. 1, (1916), 150) but it was probably enclosed before 1612 (S. & D., N. & Q., VI (1898), 360). On air photographs (R.A.F. CPE/UK 1974; 3152-3) traces of ridge-and-furrow can be seen N.E. of the village; they are arranged in curving, end-on furlongs unrelated to the present field boundaries.'
