Full Description
{1} Many of the fields within the park bear traces of ridge and furrow. Some of this may be earlier than the park since Little Preston is mentioned in Domesday as at least partly waste. Some furlongs must however have been ploughed after abandonment of the park because their relationship to the boundary bank shows that they are later than it.
