A magnetometry survey was undertaken on land at Tothby Lane, Alford, prior to a proposed residential development. The survey results revealed a series of linear features identified as medieval to post-medieval ridge and furrow and an undated ditch. Several linear features which were identified as field drain in the northern portion of the survey area, reflecting the position of the boundary of an old enclosure. A large anomaly, possibly a rubbish pit, was also identified to the north of the survey area. {1}
