'MEDIAEVAL AND LATER EARTHWORKS
(11) CULTIVATION REMAINS. Little is known of the enclosure of the open fields in the parish. Pelsham Farm (3), which appears to lie within the area of the open fields, was in existence in 1641 (Hutchins IV, 116) and some enclosure, if not all, presumably had been effected by that date. Ridge-and-furrow of the open fields, arranged in interlocking furlongs of curved and reversed-S type, exist all over the S. and E. of the parish; in places it is associated with flat strips, slightly lyncheted (R.A.F. CPE/UK 1924: 2236 and 4235-7)'. (1)
