Lyncheted ridge and furrow north of Shenington is a medieval field system preserving evidence of agricultural practices from the medieval period. The monument consists of ridge and furrow earthworks with associated lynchets, the latter indicating cultivation on sloping ground where soil accumulated against downslope boundaries to create visible terracing. Such field systems are characteristic of open field agriculture practised across much of central England during the medieval period and beyond. The survival of these earthworks at Shenington provides material evidence for the organisation and management of medieval arable farming in the Oxfordshire landscape.
