Full description
GeoInformation Group Ltd, 2010, 1:625 2010 Colour (12.5cm resolution) (Aerial Photograph). SDV346026.
Visible on the 2010 aerial photographs more than the other available years. Appears to be a fairly large area of ridge and furrow, mostly to the west of the road on Plaster Down. The majority is aligned approximately north-south, but to the north-west end of the area, the ridges are aligned more north-west by south-east and to the very north of the area (east of 'Downhouse') they are aligned east-west. Furrows are spaced at roughly 3.0 metre intervals.
