MSO9342 - Medieval or post-medieval field system on Varle Hill and Ashway Side (Monument)

An area of extensive field boundaries with ridge and furrow earthworks were noted on aerial photographs. [1-3] Extensive remains of field banks with associated ridging lie across Varle hill and Ashway Side. This area is included in a detailed AP transcription of the Winsford Hill environs, to be carried out as part of the RCHME East Exmoor Project. [4] The field system, comprising medieval and/or post-medieval ridge and furrow and embanked field boundaries, described by the previous authorities forms part of a larger system (described in MSO8622) that has been mapped from aerial photographs as part of the RCHME East Exmoor Project. [5-7] This record was enhanced as part of the National Record of the Historic Environment to Exmoor National Park Historic Environment Record data transfer project. [8]
