Monument record 15244 - Ridge and Furrow Earthworks North of Belgrave Avenue

Blocks of parallel linear earthworks, in the form of distinct ridges and troughs known as ridge and furrow. Ridge and furrow earthworks form as a result of medieval and post medieval cultivation practices, these appear to be medieval in origin, the ridges being broader and the lines of the earthworks curving in nature. In places there are clear headlands formed by the turning of the plough and differenciating between individual blocks. Together, with the extensive earthworks surviving within Eaton Park, this forms part of a a significant cohesive and un-fragmented area of ridge and furrow earthworks.
