Monument record MWX43123 - Boundary earthworks, Wickhambreaux Valley
Summary
Shallow earthworks are visible across an extensive area of the Wickhambreaux Valley on 1940s aerial photographs. They are interpreted as elements of a field system created on land reclaimed from the Wantsum Channel from the 11th century onwards. They appear to predate the late post-medieval field layout shown on historic Ordnance Survey mapping.
