Several units of narrow ridge and furrow to the northwest of Folly Cottage, Broadwindsor, are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs of the 1940s. The narrow 4m width indicates a probale post medieval origin although it may also be the result of late 19th to early 20th century steam ploughing. The site was digitally plotted during the Marshwood Vale NMP.
