Description:
A large field on the 1848 Tithe Map (No. 51 South Knopley) has a curious rectangular enclosure of glebe land at its centre, which is marked by 'stones' on the Ordnance Survey first edition of 1858. This probably coincides with an area of freehold shown on the 1620 map. Note that an earthwork was noted at this same location (HER 1293).
