Full Description
Earthworks of possible medieval enclosures and trackways, to the south of Burgh le Marsh, identified on aerial photographs by the National Mapping Programme. {1}
Earthworks of more extensive medieval ridge and furrow could be discerned around the previously identified features on Google Maps satellite imagery. A number of different alignments within the area of ridge and furrow could be observed. {2}
An L-shaped ridge was recorded in June 2014, during an earthwork survey, conducted prior to proposed development on land to the rear of Cairns House, Hall Lane, Burgh le Marsh. The earthwork had been disturbed by late 20th century dumping, but was thought to represent former terracing associated with the medieval agricultural activity in this area. {3}{4}
