Full Description

A network of cropmarks preserves the plan of former small fields near the deserted village of Morton in Babworth, shown on an estate map of 1757 belonging to the Mason family and now in NCRO. The village and small fields were surrounded by open fields of the usual type, bearing no relation to the brickwork plan fields. (1)
