Full description
January 1946. RAF air photograph.
Shows gently curving north to south alignment of narrow strip fields, almost certainly part of an open field system. The soilmarks indicate ditches separating the strips, but these are too variable in width to convincingly be ridge and
furrow.
B. Cushion (NLA), 7 September 1998.
