Full Description
A ridge 15ft across, flanked by 2 ditches, was traced for 400yds in the valley ESE of Old Ox Camp. (1)
Mr FJ Cooper, tenant farmer of Fallow's Farm, stated that during WW2 several fields were thrown into one, and the whole "grubber ploughed". He knew nothing of the described earthwork. A wide permabulation of the area proved fruitless. (2)
