Monument record MDO46773 - Historic cultivation marks, Newton Peveril, Sturminster Marshall

An area of possible ridged and ditched cultivation within a field to the west of Newton Peveril, Sturminster Marshall, is visible as earthworks on current Environment Agency lidar imagery. The features are faint but appear broad and slightly curvilinear in form. They may be ridge and furrow cultivation of medieval to post medieval date and were digitally plotted during the Dorset Middle Stour AIM project.
