HER Number:MDV115631
Name:Relict Field Boundaries north-west of Yarty Farm, Membury

Summary

Curvilinear earthwork banks, visible on infra-red aerial photographs taken in 2014 and on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014, are interpreted as the remains of medieval field boundaries that fell out of use prior to the mid-19th century.

Two slightly curvilinear earthwork banks, up to 3.5 metres in width and 14 metres apart, are visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014 and on infra-red versions of aerial photographs taken in 2014. They are similar in form to nearby earthworks interpreted as medieval field boundaries (MDV115629), and are probably relict field boundary banks. As they are not depicted on the Tithe map they are assumed to have fallen out of use by the mid-19th century.
