Full Description

{1} Ridge and furrow of these fields remains on the ground or can be seen on air photos over much of the parish arranged mainly in interlocked furlongs often of reversed-S form. It is particulrly well preserved in Canons Ashby park and north and east of the deserted village. In the north part of the former village a block of short ridge and furrow has been cut into by later closes, suggesting that the village has expanded over arable land. In addition a number of former lanes,now reduced to hollow ways, are visible either on the ground or on air photos. As a result a large part of the medieval landscape of the parish can be reconstructed. See fig. 34.
