Plan Form - LINEAR
NW OF TRACKWAY POSSIBLE FIELD SYSTEM OR HOUSE CLOSE TRACES, MORE LIKELY REMAINS OF RIDGE & FURROW, SOME FURROWS BEING ACCENTUATED BY LATER FIELD DRAINAGE (B5).
FIELD UNDER ROUGH PASTURE WITH NO COHERENT PATTERN OF EARTHWORKS OR SUNKEN WAY VISIBLE (B6).
1985 and 1988 vertical APs show earthworks of ridge and furrow, old field boundaries and probable water meadow channels extending across whole of field (B11).

A rapid examination of air photography shows an additional area of ridge and furrow earthworks to the east, visible as earthworks from Manor Farm to Foxhill Covert. A possible trackway is visible running N-S from SP 743067 to SP 743062 (B15).
Most of this additional area has been subsequently plough-levelled.
