Monument record MDO40538 - Historic field boundaries, Christchurch

Ditched and banked linear earthworks on the Avon river floodplain at Christchurch are visible on 1940s aerial photographs. The features are presumed to be historic field boundaries of probable post medieval date, although an earlier origin is possible. The features were digitally plotted by the Dorset Stour NMP project.
