Full Description

Earthworks of medieval ridge and furrow, to the west of Yarburgh. Identified on aerial photography examined as part of the National Mapping Programme. {1} Whilst large parts of the ridge and furrow have been levelled through modern arable cultivation, particularly prominent and well preserved earthworks do still survive in two areas currently used as pasture. These are located at the southern end of the orginally larger area, to the immediate north of Westfield Road (TF 3501 9248), and at the northern end of the originally larger area, to the immediate west of Main Road (TF 3497 9272). {2}{3}{4}{5}{6}
