MEDIEVAL FIELD SYSTEM 1066 to 1540

POST MEDIEVAL FIELD SYSTEM 1540 to 1901

ST 819360. Near Rodmead Wood. Site of a former field-system, now destroyed. Slight ridges of field system. (Not described in VCH Wilts, 1, 1957, L V Grinsell). It is visible on APs and may be contemporary with the rig-and-furrow which abuts it on the north. (1-2) Only the slightest vestiges of this field-system can be seen on the ground; of minor archaeological significance. (3) The fields are permanently under plough and no traces of the field-system could be identified now. (4 - 1978) Nothing visible on OS air photographs.
