Monument record MDO38549 - Post medieval or later field boundary, Specket Cottage, Broadwindsor

A post medieval or later field boundary is visible as an earthwork to the west of Specket Cottage on aerial photographs of the 1940s. It is not shown on the OS First Edition historic mapping but its straight linear form suggests a probable post medieval or later date. The site was digitally plotted during the Marshwood Vale NMP.
