Transcriptions of linear ditches correspond to the grid reference for PRN166991.

Two linear features are visible on aerial photos (p1). They are not on the same alignment as the extant surrounding field system. It is possible that they are the remains of earlier field boundaries, and may be associated with other linear features in the same area (prn 166988). The features have been digitally plotted as part of the National Mapping Programme.
