Abstract:		 Broad, regular plough furrows, the remains of the open field system that once surrounded the village of Glenfield, were encountered across the entire site. The furrows were aligned downslope, mostly on a north-west alignment, changing to an east to west alignment in the south-eastern corner of the site where the hillside took on a more easterly aspect. The narrow spacing of the furrows suggests that they date to the lade medieval/post-medieval periods, although they are likely to have continued in agricultural use until the open fields were 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. With the exception of the late medieval/post-medieval furrows, no other significant archaeological features were encountered, other than a small, undated ditch in the south-east corner of the site. This ran parallel with the furrows in this area, suggesting that it is probably post-medieval or later in date. Colluvial deposits (hill-wash), which were up to 1m thick in places and filled a naturally formed hollow near the base of the slope, were noted in two trenches in the northern corner of the site, close to Kirby Road.
