Monument record 6107/0/9 - Ploughed out ridge and furrow remains

Geophysical survey identified an extensive area of ploughed out ridge and furrow. No earthwork remains are visible.

{1} Magnetic anomalies representing ploughed out ridge and furrow cultivation, probably dating to the medieval period, are present across the site. Two directions of furrows are evident. In the western half of the survey area furrows are aligned west-north-west to east-north-east. In the eastern half of the survey area they are aligned north-north-west to south-south-east. Some furrows displayed enhanced magnetic susceptibility, probably due to the inclusion of soils from nearby or underlying archaeological features.

{2} Remnant furrows from ridge and furrow cultivation were encountered in trenches 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10.
