Monument record MDO39001 - Historic field boundary, Folly Cottage, Broadwindsor

A slightly curvilinear banked and ditched field boundary to the southwest of Folly Cottage, Broadwindsor, is visible as earthworks on aerial photographs of the 1940s. The boundary form suggests a possible medieval origin, although a later date is also possible. The site was digitally plotted during the Marshwood Vale NMP.
