Monument record MDO41487 - Undated features, Cowgrove Farm, Pamphill

Ditched and banked features to the east of Cowgrove Farm are visible on current Lidar imagery. The features may comprise of trackways and other additional earthworks of uncertain date and character. It is possible they are associated with post medieval extraction but this is not certain. They were digitally plotted by the Dorset Stour NMP project.

Ditched and banked features to the east of Cowgrove Farm are visible on current Lidar imagery (1).

The features comprise a low banked mound 18m long by up to 9.8m wide in addition to two ditched linear features, possibly historic trackways as they appear to link into a historic E-W aligned trackway recorded on the OS 1st Edition map (2). Adjacent to the easternmost of these possible trackways is a sub-square ditched hollow of uncertain interpretation but possible contenders may be a post medieval animal pound or a post medieval extractive pit.

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