Summary

Cropmarks of two curvilinear ditch cropmarks of unknown date are visible on aerial photographs. Two parallel ditch cropmarks are present on a curving northwest to southeast alignment. They appear to follow the contour lines on a northeast facing valley side slope. Although they are quite narrow it is possible that they relate to some form of terracing or lynchets on the slope. The ditches are not marked on an estate map of Sedgeford dating to 1631.
