Monument record MDO28991 - Post medieval cultivation marks, Wytch Farm, Corfe

A group of parallel linear ditches are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs of Wytch Farm. They are considered likely to be the remains of cultivation marks of probable post medieval date. These features have since been destroyed by the construction of Wytch Farm Oil Station in the 1980's.
