Monument record MWX43115 - Boundary earthworks, Wickhambreaux Valley
Summary
Shallow earthworks of boundary features, demarking a series of fragmentary enclosures, are visible on 1940s aerial photographs. They appear to derive from field systems created from land reclaimed from the Wantsum Channel between the 11th and 18th centuries, and probably predate the current field layout as they have a significantly different alignment.
