'(12) CULTIVATION REMAINS. Nothing remains of the open fields of West Stour, which were enclosed by 1779 (D.C.R.O.). It is not certain if the settlement of Little Kington had open fields apart from those of West Stour, but angular field boundaries and two ploughed down strip lynchets south east of Little Kington Farm (778228), suggest that this was the case.'
