Summary
The UK Forestry Standard (UKFS) acknowledges that consideration should be given to the preservation and enhancement of cultural and historic landscapes when designing new woodlands.
Rig and furrow are a series of ridges (rigs), separated by furrows, formed by ploughing or in some instances by spade. Evidence of rig and furrow would indicate that the area should be considered as being unimproved and therefore may require a comprehensive prospective archaeological survey.
