Monument record MWX43435 - Former field boundaries between the Guestling and the River Stour, Sandwich

Summary

Two inter-linked ditches are visible as a mixture of cropmarks and earthworks on 1940s aerial photography. Recent aerial photography indicates that the earthwork elements now appear to have been wholly-levelled. They are similar to those belonging to the field layout shown on the first edition Ordnance Survey map and probably represent previously unrecorded elements of this system. This field system is likely to be of post-medieval date and may also derive from land reclaimed from the Wantsum Channel.
