Monument record MDO49527 - Post medieval orchard, Child Okeford

Two areas of cultivation ridges are visible as earthworks within two narrow historic fields on the north side of Child Okeford on 1940s aerial photographs and Environment Agency lidar imagery. The fields are shown as an orchard on the OS Epoch 1 map and the features might be post medieval cultivation ridges associated with this. The features were digitally plotted during the Mid Dorset Downs AIM project.
