Monument record MDO38941 - Historic lynchets, Prime Coppice, Marshwood

Three short sections of strip lynchets are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs on the edge of Prime Coppice to the south of Harper's Barn. The features may be of medieval date although a natural origin cannot be ruled out. The site is now under trees and nothing visible on Google Earth photographs although slight features are apparent on lidar imagery. The site was digitally plotted during the Marshwood Vale NMP.
