‘(12) CULTIVATION REMAINS. It is probable that originally both Durweston and Kingston had separate open fields, but by 1580 there was only one system for both villages (map of Durweston c. 1580, copy in D.C.R.O.); enclosure took place some time after 1580, but before the 19th century. … S.W. of Four Acre Coppice (860074) are five fragmentary contour strip lynchets.’
