Full Description
A short stretch of 'boundary bank' survives between the current parishes of Ripley and Denby. Possibly early medieval in origin, the boundary survives as a bank, c.1 - 1.5 m high. In the easternmost corner a ditch is visible on the north side of the bank. To the west the line of the boundary has been disturbed by works associated with opencast coal extraction. (1)
