Summary
A slightly curvilinear earthwork bank, visible on aerial photographs taken from 1982 and on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014, is interpreted as the probable remains of a medieval field boundary that fell out of use prior to the mid-19th century.

A curvilinear earthwork bank, up to 7 metres in width, was visible on aerial photographs taken from 1982 onwards, and on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. It fits into the historic field pattern, which has been characterised as based on medieval strip fields. The bank is interpreted as a relict field boundary of medieval origin, which fell out of use prior to the mid-19th century.
