Full Description
An area of plough cultivation, lynchets and field boundaries. In an area of uninclosed land there are faint indications of old plough ridges, ditches, field banks and lynchets. Better determination from aerial photographs than in the field. In all probability the cultivation features relate from the period post-inclosure, either late 18th or early 19th century (1).
