Ridge and furrow at Helmsley
Image: © Gordon Hatton Taken: 2 Nov 2016
Some distinct ridge and furrow undulations in a field just east of the town. The OS map here shows a series of long thin fields to the east of Carlton Road, suggesting that this area has been enclosed from what may well have been the community's common 'East Field' at some time in the distant past.
