Type and Period (2)

Full Description

[2} Geophysical survey identified one broad linear anomaly and two less distinct linear trends intersect obliquely with the ridge and furrow. It is most likely that these represent former tracks, with the strongest anomaly perhaps representing a hollow-way and the others representing less well defined combinations of hollows, ruts and side ditches. If these are tracks, they could be of early date, as they are not recorded on any historic mapping, and do not respect the layout of the ridge and furrow or the modern field boundaries.
