Cultivation remains on Thomas's Hill and east of Hilton is an ancient monument located in Dorset comprising evidence of historic agricultural land use. The site preserves earthwork remains of strip fields and associated cultivation features that attest to medieval and post-medieval farming practices across this landscape. These linear field systems represent the organised exploitation of arable land characteristic of the manorial agricultural system that dominated much of southern England during the medieval period. The survival of such remains in earthwork form provides valuable archaeological evidence for understanding patterns of land tenure, settlement, and subsistence economy in Dorset over several centuries.
