Full Description

{1} In the north western half of the field plough furrows were aligned across the field from north east to south west, roughly parallel to existing field boundaries. The furrows are medieval in origin, but the open field system of ridge and furrow, prevalent in much of the Midland region, could have been maintained into the post-medieval period.
