Full Description
A parcel of land in Fleet with distinctive field boundaries that differ in their morphology to the field boundaries in the surrounding landscape. The long fields are reminiscent of medieval burgage plots and it maybe that this parcel of land was separately enclosed at an early date. It is possible that this is the site of small medieval planned settlement in the area of the freshwater fen to the south of Fleet. If this is so no documentary evidence for this settlement has yet been identified. {1}{2}
There are no buildings marked within the parcel on the Ordnance Surveyor's drawing of 1812. {3}
