Monument record MDO49774 - Possible medieval lynchets, Lazerton Farm, Stourpaine

Linear banked features to the southeast of Lazerton Farm, Stourpaine, are visible as earthworks on 1940s aerial photographs and Environment Agency lidar imagery. The features follow the contours and are probably cultivation lynchets, possibly of medieval date, although they could perhaps be earlier in origin. They might be features associated with the deserted medieval hamlet of Ash. They were digitally plotted during the Mid Dorset Downs AIM project.
