Description
Ridge and furrow and ponds are visible as earthwork on historical and recent air photos and on lidar imagery. Most of these remains appear to survive as earthworks on the most recent sources. Most of these features are likely to be of medieval date. They are located in a field to the south of Hartley. A scatter of small coal workings have impinged on this ridge and furrow.
