Full Description
{1} In the west of the parish, in and around Ladshill Spinney and Hay Spinney (SP502470), the underlying Upper Lias Clay has slipped down the hillside to produce a rippled appearance on the ground. In most places the adjacent ridge and furrow stops short of these landslips, presumably because they were too difficult to cultivate in medieval times, but in two places the ridge and furrow runs over the landslips. At SP505468 ridge and furrow is arranged along the contours on the terraces of two massive parallel landslips.
