Monument record 0771800000 - Field south of Eaton Leys Farm

Ridge and furrow is likely have extended across much of the rest of the survey area, only very fragmentary traces are apparent in the survey data. The furrow anomalies are exceptionally weak and in many places they cannot be discerned at all. This could be because the furrows have been heavily truncated by modern ploughing, but the more likely explanation is that the local soil does not support the development of well-defined magnetic contrasts, except in areas of former occupation where the natural magnetic susceptibility has been enhanced by anthropogenic inputs (1).
