Description
The English Heritage survey of Stowe undertaken in 2001 notes two very slight banks, 114m long and 5m wide, having the appearences of being ploughed out. They are not thought to be the remains of ridge and furrow as no other remains are noted in this field, but maybe the remains of more recent agricultural activity. Aerial photographs from 1946 show the field divided up (1).
