Monument record MBC45369 - Medieval and/or post-medieval ridge and furrow cultivation, Stowe parish.

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 Stowe parish and centred at SP 67428 37972, almost all the ridge and furrow cultivation blocks are visible as extant earthworks on aerial photographs taken between the 1940s and 1960s, but aerial photographs taken in 2019 and recent remote sensing data indicate that roughly half the blocks have been plough-levelled in the subsequent decades, likely due to changes in post-war agricultural regimes (1-28).
