Full Description

A group of five or six parallel banks or lynchets visible in LiDAR imagery. The banks may relate to the catchwater meadow recorded immediately to the southwest (MMO3652), representing chanels associated with this system. Alternatively, ridge and furrow earthworks also survive in the vicinity, on the same alignment as these earthworks. However, these earthworks do not appear to be as denuded suggesting that they may be more recent. [1] This record was created by Cornwall HER as part of the Forestry Commission's Project K. [2]
