Full Description
Earthworks of medieval ridge and furrow were identified on aerial photographs by the National Mapping Programme. {1}

Further remains of ridge and furrow were identified in the small fields to the immediate east of the buildings at Kirkby Hill, during a walkover survey, conducted to assess the impact of proposed construction of the Covenham Water Treatment Works to Boston Transfer pipeline. {3}
Further traces of medieval ridge and furrow were recorded in the area to the south-west of the buildings at Kirkby Hill in June 2011, during magnetometry survey along selected parts of the proposed Covenham Water Treatment Works to Boston Transfer pipeline. The remains were identified as a series of parallel linear magnetic anomalies, aligned on a roughly north to south axis. {4}
