Abstract:		 A series of broad furrows, the remains of the open field system that once surrounded the village of Glenfield, was encountered across the entire stie. In the western part of the site they were aligned downslope on a roughly north-west to south-west alignment, were speaced c.8-10m apart and displayed the characteristic S-shaped curve of medieval furrows. Some evidence was noted for a reorganistation of the field system at some point in the medieval period, as was suggested by a number of east to west aligned furrows, although it was not possible to determine if these pre- or post-dated the predominate set of medieval furrows. The narrower, regular spacing and linearity of the furrows in the eastern part of the site suggest that they date from the late medieval/post-medieval period, with the change in the pattern of furrows brought about by the advent of the horse-drawn plough at this time. The open field system is likely to have continued in use until it was enclosed in the 18th or early 19th century, after which time the earthworks that were characteristically formed by this form of ploughing were razed to suit the needs of modern mechanised farming. A small assemblage of post-medieval and modern pottery and tile was recovered from the furrows.
