'(41) CULTIVATION REMAINS. Treswell's Map shows that the open fields of the parish were already enclosed by 1607. Fragmentary remains of ridge-and-furrow occur in a few places, for example at 769084 and 769077; these and other traces that appear on air photographs (R.A.F. CPE/UK 1974: 1180-4, 3180-5) clearly antedate the field boundaries of 1607. The ridge-and-furrow was arranged in curving furlongs'.
