Monument record MDO48985 - Prehistoric strip lynchets, Little Puddle Bottom, Piddlehinton
Please read our guidance about the use of Dorset Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
Two parallel banked linears are visible as low earthworks on lidar imagery running along the slope at the eastern end of Little Puddle Bottom, Piddlehinton. The features appear to underly the medieval cultivation marks described in MDO1893 and are therefore considered to be prehistoric strip lynchets. They were digitally recorded during the Upper Cerne and Piddle Valleys AIM project.
