1 Ridge and furrow evident as earthworks on aerial phtographs dating from 1947 mapped as part of the English Heritage National Mapping Project. The ridges have been levelled in the 1960s and 70s by modern ploughing. All that remains are furrows that can be seen as soil or crop marks on more recent photographs
