Full Description
<1> Environment Agency, 2003-2020, Environment Agency LiDAR Surveys, 1m DSM Composite (13/07/2021) (Digital Archive). SCH7819.
A number of individual blocks of ridge and furrow earthworks are visible on this survey. The ridge and furrow is generally straight and headlands areabsent. The distance from ridge to ridge is seven to eight metres. Further banks and ditches correspond to field boundaries depicted on the Ordnance Survey map (see 2). These later field boundaries generally respect the boundaries of the blocks of ridge and furrow. Earthworks associated with extant and former marl pits are common and truncate the ridge and furrow.
