- None recorded
Full Description
Medieval ridge and furrow earthworks identified at this location on aerial photographs taken in 1948 and 2003. (1)
Some of the earthworks still appear to be extant on Bing Maps aerial photographs [2015]; although some areas do appear to have been affected by modern ploughing. (2)
Reviewed (2026), ridge and furrow to the north of the main road mostly appear to have been ploughed out, to the south large amounts of relatively good quality Medieval ridge and furrow still visible using both LiDAR (3) and aerial photographs.
