Recorded monuments

• WX047-145 Ring-ditch
  Description

  Located on a fairly level landscape. The faint cropmark of a small enclosure (diam. c. 8m) is visible on aerial photographs (ASIAP (446), 19; WX047-145_1). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 17 October, 2013

• WX047-152 Field system
  Description

  Situated on the floodplain of the E-W Bridgetown stream and just W of where a short N-S stream enters it from Baldwinstown. The cropmarks of numerous drains covering an area of c. 4.5ha can be seen on digital aerial photographs (WX047-152_1 to _6) taken in 2006. Some wider channels may represent a stream-bed but most smaller field drains lead into these and represent a field system of rectangular fields (dims c. 30-50m x c. 30-50m), perhaps dating to the 18th century.
