Monument record MYO3547 - Field Boundary Ditch systemAcaster Malbis
Summary
A series of linear cropmarks in the areas between and adjacent to the runways of Acaster Malbis airfield seen on air photographs. These marks appear to correspond to field boundaries showing on wartime air photographs where the airfield is under camouflage. Presumably the field pattern depicted there corresponds to the original field pattern.
