Cord rig is the name given by archaeologists to a system of cultivation practised in prehistoric and later upland Britain. Spades were used to excavate raised banks for cultivation with channels running alongside for drainage. Where it survives, it consists of parallel ridges of earth around 1 m wide and 0.15 m high. The ridges are separated by shallow furrows in fields of around 0.5 hectares, or about 1-acre (4,000 m2). The presence of cord rig suggests nearby settlements and can be identified from aerial photography.

  • Il Cord rig è il nome dato dagli archeologi ad un sistema di coltivazione praticato nella preistoria e successivamente nell'altopiano britannico. I badili erano usati per scavare banchi di terreno rialzato per la coltivazione con canali di drenaggio correnti lungo i fianchi. Dove sopravvive, esso è costituito da ridges paralleli di terreno di circa 1 m larghi e 0.15 m alti. Nei campi i ridges sono separati da bassi furrows di circa 0.5 ettari o circa 1 acro (4.000 m2). La presenza di cord rig suggerisce la vicinanza di insediamenti che possono essere identificati dalla fotografia aerea. (it)

In Northumberland, one example of cord rig has been identified running beneath, and therefore predating, Hadrian's Wall. (en)

Nel Northumberland, un esempio di cord rig è stato identificato passante sotto il Vallo di Adriano, e perciò precedente a questo. (it)
