Full Description
RIDGE AND FURROW FIELD SYSTEM, SOME OF WHICH HAS BEEN DESTROYED. {1}{2}
In 1999 trial trenches dug off Church Lane to the east of Cherry Willingham has identified the remains of ridge and furrow in trenches 3 and 4. However, this evidence was for ridges running east-west while the RCHME survey records the ridge and furrow as running north-south. Twentieth century farming has completely obliterated the north-south ridge and furrow and the east-west ridges are earlier, possibly Anglo-Saxon. An earlier geophysical survey in this area revealed no evidence of this ridge and furrow. {3}{4}{8}{9}
During an extended watching brief during development on the site further evidence for east-west ridge and furrow were recorded in plots 140 and 156. {6}{7}
