Field boundaries of probable later prehistoric date visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs <3-4> and digitally plotted during the Dorset Middle Stour Catchment AI&M Project. They comprise a bank and ditched linear running NW-SE for 500m with two parallel boundaries (200m long) abutting the SW side. The northwestern of the pair probably continues into the next field and is an extension of MDO43841 and MDO6045.
