Summary

Two broad curvilinear ditches, visible as earthworks on aerial photographs taken from 1947 onwards and on images derived from lidar data captured between 2005 and 2010, are interpreted as the remains of medieval or post-medieval field boundaries that passed out of use prior to the mid-19th century.

Two curvilinear ditches, one circa 3.5 metres wide perpendicular to another up to 14 metres in width, are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs taken from 1947 onwards and on images derived from lidar data captured between 2005 and 2010. They are parallel with, and manifest in the same way as, removed field boundaries immediately to the north and east that have a medieval character. As they are not depicted on the Tithe Map, they are interpreted as the remains of medieval field boundaries that passed out of use prior to the mid-19th century. Earthwork remains are very likely to survive.
