Full Description
{3} Exceptionally fine stretch of ridge and furrow remains. The furlongs are notable as they have one or two broad ridges up to 10m wide separating groups of four to eight ridges only 3m wide. The ends of the ridges here rise over the headlands between the furlongs and almost interlock with each other.
