The earthworks of possible medieval ridge and furrow, in addition to the post medieval ditch previously excavated, may be visible on aerial photographs (S2-S3) adjacent to Dunston Manor. It must be noted that is it feasible that the parallel ridges could relate to post medieval land improvement associated with Dunston Park.
