Post-medieval field boundaries at Mistley (EHER 82045)

Post-medieval field boundaries visible as cropmarks on air photos.

January 2017. Aerial photograph interpretation. A post medieval field boundary is visible as a cropmark on air photos. It is aligned north to south. In 1950 it was still marked the divide between different crops and was defined by a line of vegetation and some bushes. Another perpendicular arrangement of ditches is visible as cropmark on air photo. The north to south aligned feature still marked the divide between different crops in 1950. Two gently curving linear ditches are visible as cropmarks on air photos. They are aligned near north to south, are near parallel to one another and 195m apart. These may be field boundaries but the date of these features is not known. The final post medieval field boundary is visible as a cropmark on air photos. It is aligned north to south. In 1950 it was still marked the divide between different crops. <1>
