Monument record MWX43163 - Boundary earthworks, Wickhambreaux/Stourmouth Valley
Summary
Shallow earthworks are visible on 1940s aerial photographs. They are interpreted as elements of a field system and ditch 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.
