Site now recorded under NHER 26614 and extended to include other areas of earthworks. These features have been interpreted as a form of narrow ridge and furrow. However the channels may relate to land improvement for pasture, rather than for arable, and therefore act in a similar way to a water meadow system.
S. Massey (NMP), 14 November 2003.
