Full Description

Triple ditches running up the hillside. Their formation suggests a boundary, possibly of Rufford Park. (1)
In the wood on the hill to the north of the village are three large parallel trenches running up and down the hill, NE and SW. They appear to be the grooves of an old trackway leading to the earthwork known as Jordan Castle. (2)
These features are confined to the wood. Possibly old roads or erosion gullies. (3)
Triple ditch visible on LIDAR.
