Follingsby common fields

Prominent ridge and furrow occupies the western third of Heworth golf course. Its significance is not clear. It has been recorded under Follingsby for the time being since this - if it really existed - appears to have been the nearest medieval settlement. However, according to the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map, the area of the ridge and furrow was not in any township, but was instead in territory called "Hedworth Detached". It is just possible this was the result of the enclosure of common, or possibly a carve-up of Follingsby.
