Ditched linear features in fields to the north of Stone Farm are visible on 1940s aerial photographs (1).

The features comprise narrow linear and curvilinear ditches that follow natural landscape features or cross historic enclosures. They are presumed to be historic trackways of probable post medieval date, although an earlier origin is possible. Some features may also form or follow historic boundary lines, including field boundaries.

The site is ploughed and cropped fields on current Google Earth imagery, with significant boundary removal. The features are no longer visible.

The features were digitally plotted by the Dorset Stour NMP project.
