Full Description
{1} Surviving ridge and furrow is evident in fields … 14, 15, 16 and 17.
{2} The most notable feature is north of the village on a steep west-facing hill (SP 537400 - 539408); the hillside has collapsed into landslips and mud-flows. Where the landslips are most marked (SP 538407) the land was never cultivated in medieval times and the adjacent ridge and furrow terminates at the upper limits of the slip.
