Full Description

Earthworks of medieval ridge and furrow, to the south of Covenham St Mary. Identified on aerial photography examined as part of the National Mapping Programme. {1} The earthworks here survive very well, as seen on recent aerial photography. A division in the former open field system is also visible here, with most of the furrows aligned on a roughly south-west to north-east axis, whilst a small area to the immediate south of Ings Lane is aligned on a roughly north-west to south-east axis. The ridge and furrow in the southernmost field surrounds a circular earthwork mound, thought to be the remains of a possible former prehistoric round barrow or medieval mill mound, which also survives very well (see MLI87809). {2}{3}{4}{5}
