Full Description
A parallel series of positive linear magnetic anomalies was detected crossing the whole of the survey area, aligned approximately north to south, which are interpreted as the remains of ridge and furrow cultivation. These features were spaced on average c.6-7m apart and represent the soil-filled furrows of former ridge and furrow cultivation of likely medieval or post-medieval date. (1)
