Monument record MDO41485 - Historic field boundary, Cowgrove Farm, Pamphill

A low banked linear feature to the south of Cowgrove Farm is faintly visible on current Lidar imagery (1).

The featureis broad and slightly curvilinear in form. IT is situated within a large irregular historic enclosure recorded on the OS 1st Edition map, whose curvilinear boundaries are likely to be medieval in origin (2). The feature broadly aligns with part of the southern boundary, and also with additional linear features (MDO41484) to the west, also visible on current Lidar imagery and potentially contemporary.
