Full Description

{1} A series of well defined parallel ridges and associated furrows were visible. A minimum of six furrows were present within the paddock. The spacing between the crests of the ridges ranged from 6-8m. The ridges were aligned roughly parallel to the eastern element of The Cottons. To the southern margin of the paddock, the earthworks faded out, with no obvious headland, suggesting that the southern continuations had been truncated by the south-western element of The Cottons. There was a noticeable rise in the western part of the field, with the crests of the furrows being approx. 0.37m higher. This was due to a rise in the underlying geological stratum. In the north-west corner of the paddock, the pattern of furrows was disturbed by later activity.
