Land affected by improvement (ploughing etc). North side of the road from Bellever to Cator (Plot Nos 312 & 320 on 1905 Ordnance Survey 25 inch map). The line of the old road westwards from Cator to near Ephraims Pinch is in this area. Small rectilinear enclosure abutting on to the north side of this road in the west could be medieval. Between the main Cator leat and line of old road there is ridge and furrow of unknown date.
