Monument record MBC43699 - Medieval and/or post medieval ridge and furrow cultivation, plough headlands and boundary ditches in Mursley parish.

An almost contiguous swathe of medieval and/or post medieval ridge and furrow cultivation, remnants of the former common open-field system, is visible on historic aerial photographs and remote sensing data as earthworks and was mapped as part of the North Buckinghamshire Aerial Investigation and Mapping project (EBC18304). Located across the south half of Mursley parish and centred at SP 81883 28641, almost all the ridge and furrow cultivation blocks are visible as extant earthworks on aerial photographs taken in the 1940s, but aerial photographs taken in 2019 and recent remote sensing data indicate that roughly half the blocks have been plough-levelled, likely due to changes in post-war agricultural regimes (1-17).
