Monument record MDO49421 - Possible medieval settlement remains, St Mary's Church, Iwerne Stepleton

Several linear banks are visible as earthworks on Environment Agency lidar imagery to the south of St Mary's Church, Stepleton Iwerne. The features are considered to be land boundries of probable medieval date and could be associated with an area of deserted medieval settlement. The deserted medieval settlement of Iwerne Stepleton is recorded under MDO4123 but no traces are believed to survive. The features were digitally plotted during the Mid Dorset Downs AIM project.
