Full Description
Earthworks of medieval ridge and furrow at Ancroft Fen, to the south-east of Bilsby, identified on aerial photographs examined as part of the National Mapping Programme. {1}
Part of the ridge and furrow remains were noted in October 1999, during archaeological monitoring of the installation of a replacement gas pipeline between Trusthorpe and Candlesby. The earthworks were more prominent in the eastern side of the field, but diminished on the western side, closer to the route of the pipeline. A possible old lane and associated hollow ways were also noted as earthworks in the field. {2}{3}
