Monument record MDO42856 - Possible late prehistoric field boundaries, Frampton, Frampton

Banked linear features are visible as earthworks on 1940s aerial photographs and on current Lidar imagery to the northeast of Frampton. The features may be late prehistoric field boundaries, possibly of Iron Age or Romano-British date. They appear to be overlain by narrower linear banks (MDO42857) that may be medieval in date, although it is possibly they are contemporary. The features were digitally plotted during the Dorset Upper Frome AIM project.
