Full Description
Two units of post medieval narrow ridge and furrow are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs taken in 1948, to the south of Lower Atrim Farm (1). The parallel features were digitally plotted during the Marshwood Vale NMP. They are considered to be the remains of 19th or early 20th century ploughing but a more recent origin is possible. The ridges have been levelled by modern ploughing and are no longer visible in the most recent Google Earth imagery.
