Brick Works, marked on the Ordnance Survey maps of 1885 and 1900, not shown on subsequent maps. A large scarped depression is shown at this location on current Lidar imagery, which may reflect the area comprising the post medieval brickworks and/or a large clay pit associated with these. The features were digitally plotted by the Dorset Stour NMP project.
