Full Description
Thirteen former field boundaries are visible as earthworks, located east of Worth and mapped from military aerial photographs taken in January 1945 [1] and April 1950 [3]. These shallow ditch boundaries are generally located perpendicular to existing field boundaries visible on Ordnance Survey historic mapping and appear to have been removed in order to increase the size of fields, as agricultural techniques developed. The earthworks to the north are no longer visible by January 1968 [2] and those to the south are no longer visible by August 2003 [4].
A transcription of the features recorded from aerial photography exists within a GIS layer held by this HER.
