Monument record 8344/0/5 - Open Fields Project: Areas of Survival of Ridge & Furrow

Earthwork (Aerial Photography). Area extended to include separate small parcel to the north-east which also appears to contain ridge and furrow on Google Earth 19/11/2009.

{3} The survey data from all three fields contains parallel linear anomalies, aligned from north to south, representing the furrows of medieval ridge and furrow cultivation.

{4} Across the remainder of the survey area there are a series of poorly defined linear anomalies. The majority of these are aligned form north to south and evidently relate to the ridge and furrow earthworks.
