‘(99) DEER PARK, of some 760 acres, in the S.E. of the parish and extending into Motcombe, was already in existence in 1228; its history is well documented from that date until disparkment in 1628. The park is bounded by a bank, 20 ft. to 30 ft. wide and up to 3 ft. high, with shallow ditches on both sides (Dorset Procs., 87 (1965), 223–7).’
