The open field system was a method of agriculture in Europe that involved dividing arable land into strips and distributing them among multiple cultivators. It was a common practice for over 2,000 years, especially in medieval times.

In the extreme north of the county, in a ridge and furrow field near East Farndon, lies the Judith Stone, a large glacial erratic boulder lying in a hollow, which is believed to mark an assembly point where tribes met on important occasions during the Bronze and Iron Ages.
Being on elevated ground with sweeping views, the site was obviously of strategic importance and would have been part of a communications network across the hills of the county in times of danger. The stone gets its modern name from Countess Judith, the niece of William I, who owned a great deal of land in the county. (Secret Northamptonshire by Dr Peter Hill FSA)
