Monument record MDO1756 - Lynchets south east of Nether Compton village

Two or three vague short strips, roughly parallel, possibly strip lynchets, and one short field bank crossing the contours. Nothing visible on air photographs. <2>

A medieval strip lynchet extends for 200.0 m across the north east facing slope of a pasture field and traces of it can be followed into the field to the east for a further 150.0 m. The lynchet is up to 1.5 m in height and extends from ST 60311632 to ST 60601614. There are traces of ploughed out lynchets, two above and one below, upon the same slope. The field bank was not seen. <3>
