Description:  An extensive system of Medieval and/or Post medieval lynchets, possibly the remains of an open field system or some system of land improvement, are visible on aerial photographs as earthworks and cropmarks. The field systems extend around the villages of Challacombe and Barton Town, North and South Swincombe and the farms at Withecombe and Whitefield Barton. The lynchets extend over an area measuring 2.3km by 2.5km. It is unclear what, if any, the relationship between the lynchets and the present settlement pattern is.
