Full Description
Soil marks of field boundaries (marked by a bank and ditch) visible on aerial photographs. Larger fields, a trackway and a (possibly) the site of a building lie to the immediate south and south-east. These larger fields have soil marks indicative of ridge and furrow (1).
A small number of the boundaries and the trackway correspond with features depicted on the c.1844 Tithe map for Bridgemere township. Many of the small fields in this area are named 'inclosure' or 'inclosure on Wheel Green' (2).
