Parallel reave system on Pudsham Down and Blackslade Down surveyed. Three parallel reaves run diagonally across the Down, where two of them halt at a terminal reave on the north-east slope. A central section of one of the reaves has been removed on the crest of the hill, a robber trench is still visible, suggesting removal was comparatively recant.
