Monument Detail

Water Meadow, Shelwick Green

Field upon floodplain with a interlocking system of ditches (drainage channels) indicating a water meadow. Traces of ridge and furrow are also visible aligned roughly north - south. It would appear that the ridge and furrow may pre-date the water meadow. Chris Musson Aerial Photograph 02-MB-0053. (1) (2)
