Full Description
Aerial photographs show an extensive area of largely well-preserved broad interval ridge and furrow to the south of the deserted medieval village (SMR 23708). The ridges form a series of quite short furlongs with headlands evident. (1)
Aerial photographic evidence of medieval earthworks, including ridge and furrow, plough headlands, field boundaries, boundary banks, ponds and stack stands. Some appear to have been levelled by 2010, but the majority remain intact. (2)
Reviewed (2026), using LiDAR the earthworks likely related to the DMV are still very much present and in good condition. Ridge and furrow are no longer observed.
