'(28) Cultivation remains. The open fields of Stalbridge lay S. and E. of the town and were probably still in existence in 1516, when a 'South Field' was recorded (Dorset Procs., LXXVII (1955), 161). Ridge-and-furrow can be seen on air photographs (R.A.F. CPE/UK 1974: 3157) N.E. of Sturt Farm (730170); it is unrelated to the present field boundaries.
The open fields of Stalbridge Weston were already enclosed in 1662 (Schedule of Land at Stalbridge Weston, D.C.R.O.). Ridge-and-furrow within existing fields, associated with the settlements of Hargrove, Marsh and Gummershay farms, is noted at 750154, 755165 and 757178; it is 6 yds. To 7 yds. wide with headlands 7 yds. wide'.
