Full description
1. Strip lynchet system; found on the S side of Alconbury Brook, in fields 175 and 298. These "terraces" run parallel with the North Road and they extend from field 175 into 298. As the field had undergone extensive ploughing, it was thought that the steady decrease in gradient towards the brook marked by the terraces, may indeed have been the remains of a lynchet strip system. As the field gradient was rather low - they may have been ancient headlands rather than lynchets.
