Cattle churned ridge and furrow field, Clipston

Description

Title:
Cattle churned ridge and furrow field, Clipston
Caption / Description:

Looking across a cattle field near Clipston, Northamptonshire, England. The field is quite rough due to cattle churning up the soil in wet weather.

The pattern of ridges running across the field is a result of the old medieval practice of ridge and furrow farming. This field must have been used for livestock farming or left fallow since ridge and furrow farming ceased in the eighteenth century.
