Monument record MDO39770 - Post medieval drainage features, Harts Farm, Horton

An extensive post medieval drainage system is visible as earthworks on aerial photographs taken in 1946 in the vicinity of Harts Farm, Horton. The features appear to be partially overlain by a system of late 19th or 20th century cultivation marks (MDO39769). The site was digitally plotted during the Dorset Stour NMP.
