A number of fragmented earthwork banks and leats are visible on aerial photographs in fields west of Fullaford, Brayford. The banks appear to be the remains of a Medieval or Post Medieval field system, while the leats may be associated either with the field system or with Fullaford Mill to the west. The enclosures formed by the banks are irregular and somewhat piecemeal, suggesting an earlier, Medieval origin. However, part of the system is depicted on the first edition Ordnance Survey map, suggesting it remained in use during the Post Medieval period. Other details: Monument Number 1489094.
