Monument record MDO44318 - Medieval or later field boundary or lynchet, Field Dairy, Sturminster Marshall

A banked linear is visible as earthworks on on aerial photographs taken in 1946 and on lidar imagery to the east of Field Dairy, Sturminster Marshall. The feature appears to be a field boundary 3m across running SW-NE for 55m before becoming much wider (15m across) and turning NE-SW for a further 45m before meeting a modern field boundary. The feature is considered to be a medieval or post medieval field boundary and lynchet and was digitally plotted during the Dorset Middle Stour Catchment AI&M Project.
