Monument record MDO51103 - Medieval or earlier field system, Knighton, Lillington
Please read our guidance about the use of Dorset Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
Part of a medieval or earlier field system to the northeast of Knighton is visible as earthworks on lidar imagery. The linear and curvilinear earthworks form large enclosures that potentially conform with the extant historic field boundaries, but in places appear to underlie these, which could infer an early origin.
