Full Description
{1} Vestiges of open field cultivation survive as ridge and furrow earthworks across four fields. They are aligned south-west to north-east and the tops of the ridges are spaced at 9m apart. The ridges measure 2m wide and up to 0.2m high. The earthworks are well defined on the top of the natural slope. In the base of the slope they are more ephemeral.
