Full Description

Probable Med or P Med field boundary, defined by a single ditch, 450m long with some small interruptions in its length. Grid ref centred. Morph: LI656.2.1. (1)

This features bounds a sinuous trackway heading E out of Rampton (now replaced by Torksey Ferry Road). (2)

Evaluation recorded ditches running broadly east – west in three trenches. These also produced post-medieval to modern finds, including four sherds of Nottingham Stoneware. They were not apparent on historic maps and may represent broadly contemporary but short-lived components of the same system of land division. (3)
