Monument record MWX43442 - Boundary features, Little Downs Bridge

Summary

Two inter-linked ditches are visible as earthworks on 1940s aerial photography. Recent aerial photography indicates that they have now been plough-levelled. They are similar to those belonging to the field layout shown on the first edition Ordnance Survey map, likely to be of post-medieval date, and appear to represent previously unrecorded subdivisions of this system.
