An extensive field system with associated narrow ridge and furrow, visible on aerial photographs taken in 1947 and 1964. The system extends across South Hill and is probably of post-medieval date. Summary from record MMO1067: Extensive banked field system with associated ridge and furrow, probably of post medieval date. The ridge and furrow is very narrow and may be steam ploughed. This system extends across South Hill and is clearly visible on vertical aerial photographs.

Extensive banked field system with associated ridge and furrow, probably of post-medieval date. The ridge and furrow is very narrow and may be steam ploughed. This system extends across South Hill and is clearly visible on vertical aerial photographs. [1-3] The medieval and/or post-medieval field system, described by the previous authority, forms part of a larger system which also extends over Winsford Hill and South Hill. It has been mapped from aerial photographs. [4] Extensive area of field banks and plough marks indicating area of formerly farmed land. Covers much of land now indicated as moor. [8] Enclosures also around The Wambarrows. [12] In some places the ridge and furrow lies within enclosures, however in other places the ridge and furrow underlies the enclosures. This would suggest that the ridge and furrow predates the enclosures and that the enclosures were used for grazing livestock rather than cultivation. Where the ridge and furrow does relate to boundaries this is most likely the boundary that would surround a large strip field. Overall the field evidence suggests a change in landscape use from cultivation to pasture land. [15]
