Two ditched rectilinear features to the southof Cottage Farm, Colehill, are visible on 1940s aerial photographs (1).

The features are narrow and rectilinear in form and align with adjacent field boundaries whose form suggests a probable post medieval origin. The features are also considered likely to be field boundaries of probable post medieval date, although a later, early 20th century, origin is also possible.

The features remain faintly visible on current Google Earth imagery. They were digitally plotted by the Dorset Stour NMP project.
