Full Description
Ditched linears to the southeast of Creech Hill Wood are visible as cropmarks on a 1997 aerial photograph (1).

The features are thought to probably represent historic field boundaries of medieval or post medieval date but an earlier origin is possible as they are on the northwest edge of an area containing a probable late prehistoric field system (MDO39515.
