Medieval settlement and associated ridge and furrow south-west of Eastrop Farm is a scheduled ancient monument comprising the earthwork remains of medieval agricultural and domestic activity in Wiltshire. The site preserves ridge and furrow field systems alongside settlement features, indicating the presence of a medieval community engaged in arable farming practices typical of the period. Ridge and furrow represents the characteristic ploughing patterns of medieval open-field agriculture, which dominated the English lowlands from around the tenth century onwards and persisted in many areas until the post-medieval period. The survival of these earthworks provides valuable archaeological evidence for understanding medieval rural settlement patterns and land use in the region.
