The distinctive landforms have been left behind by generations of farmers or smallholders who worked in the days before tractors. At some point after the last of them ceased ploughing the land it was given over to grass and never subsequently ploughed. More on wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ridge_and_furrow
