Description
Remains of ridge and furrow of the Medieval and post-medieval field systems along with headlands and possible field boundaries identified during investigations by Stratascan and Albion Archaeology from September to December 2009. Evidence for the medieval field layout along with the irregular pre-parliamentary enclosures established by the Lees from the mid 16th century is suggested. Some extant field boundaries are thought to represent surviving pre-medieval, medieval and 16th century boundaries. See reports for detail (B1-2).
