Full Description

Earthworks of medieval ridge and furrow, to the south-west of North Willingham. Visible as several adjoining blocks of parallel linear earthworks, mostly aligned on a rough north to south axis, though with a rough east to west aligneent in the smaller, eastern portion, showing divisions in the former open field system. Identified on aerial photography examined as part of the National Mapping Programme. {1} All of the remains here appear to have been removed by more recent agricultural activity, and no trace of the former earthworks can now be discerned on the Google Maps satellite imagery layer or on LiDAR data for this area. {2}{3}
