Map

April 2002. Norfolk NMP.
Earthwork remains of the ridge and furrow are clearly visible on BKS aerial photographs from 1988 (S1), as well as OS images from 1972 (S2). The ridge and furrow covers an area of about 150 x 150m and is in a field to the west of Ringstead. It is located a short distance to the north west of another area of ridge and furrow (NHER 25346) and is centred on NGR TF7041 4042. In appearance it is fairly narrow and regular which might imply a post-medieval date (though this is not certain). This site was formerly recorded under NHER 30133.
