Full Description
Earthworks of medieval ridge and furrow, to the north-west of Linwood. Identified on aerial photographs examined as part of the National Mapping Programme. {1}
Further traces of the medieval ridge and furrow were identified in April 2017, during trial trenching on land adjacent to Corner House Farm. The investigation revealed the remains of four linear furrows, all aligned on the same north-west to south-east axis as that previously identified by the NMP, and with the spacing between the furrows measuring 7.5m on average. {2}{3}
