Monument record MDO48228 - Possible medieval to post medieval field boundaries, Henley, Buckland Newton

Banked linear features to the north of Henley, Buckland Newton, are visible as earthworks on Environment Agency lidar imagery. The features are considered to possibly be field boundaries of potentially medieval origin, although a post-medieval date is also possible. They were digitally plotted during the Dorset Upper Cerne and Piddle AIM project.

Banked linear features to the north of Henley, Buckland Newton, are visible as earthworks on Environment Agency lidar imagery [1]. The features comprise parallel linear banks forming a series of narrow regular strips that align with a historic field boundary shown on the OS 1st Edition map. Two further linear banks that sub-divide and align with current fields are also visible. The features are considered to possibly be field boundaries of potentially medieval origin, although a post-medieval date is also possible. They were digitally plotted during the Dorset Upper Cerne and Piddle AIM project.
