The earthworks of ridge and furrow mentioned within this record by Young & Turner may also represent evidence of improvement ridge and furrow, a common 19th-20th century practice involving the (mechanical) ploughing of ground for the improvement of drainage and or areas of rough ground. This monument record has accordingly been double-indexed to reflect this.
