Monument record MDR8066 - Ridge and furrow, south-east of Borrowash Bridge, Elvaston
Type and Period (1)
- RIDGE AND FURROW (Medieval - 1066 AD to 1539 AD)
Protected Status/Designation
- None recorded
Full Description
Desk-based and field evaluation of this area, the latter comprising of a walkover survey, and an auger programme, revealed moderately preserved earthwork ridge and furrow and the existence of palaeochannels (1, 2).
Geophysical survey within a small part of this area produced no responses of archaeological interest except for the ridge and furrow cultivation. (3).
A trial trench sited within the south-western corner of the geophysical survey area identified a shallow linear gully; however no artefactual remains were recovered from the feature and it was considered to be natural in origin. (4)
