Full Description
{2} Ridge and furrow is present throughout most of the wood. Where the topography allows it is in the form of regular parallel ridges about 8m wide. Slighter ridge and furrow in the western part of Everdon Stubbs indicate that this area was temporarily cleared at some point. The rectangular enclosure in the NW of this area is aligned with the north edge of the ridge and furrow. This may represent the site of a farmstead associated with the Medieval land use.
