Full Description
Parallel linear features are visible on aerial photographs as earthworks and cropmarks overlying the Iron Age/Romano-British field system described in MDO1605. These features are considered likely to be ridge and furrow cultivation marks of medieval origin. This broad ridge-and-furrow on the downland probably represents a temporary or sporadic extension of cultivation beyond the limits of the permanent arable in the medieval period or, possibly, later. {1-2}
