Monument record MDO46755 - Medieval to post medieval field boundaries, Almer, Sturminster Marshall

Banked linear features to the south of Almer, Sturminster Marshall, are visible as earthworks on 1940s aerial photographs and on current Environment Agency lidar imagery. The features form irregular rectilinear plots and are considered likely to be historic field boundaries, possibly of post medieval date, although an earlier origin is also possible. They were digitally plotted during the Dorset Middle Stour AIM project.
