Summary

Former field boundaries of between medieval to post-medieval date are visible as a series of earthwork banks and a ditch on aerial photographs of 1947 onwards, to the west of Nine Acre Plantation. The earthworks are clearly visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016.

Former field boundaries of between medieval to post-medieval date are visible as a series of earthwork banks and a ditch on aerial photographs of 1947 onwards, to the west of Nine Acre Plantation. The earthworks occupy an area of approximately 2.61 hectares of gentle southeast facing slope. The field boundaries are typically north to south and northeast to southwest aligned, with three earthworks also northwest to southeast aligned. They are visible as a series of earthwork banks, with a single earthwork ditch flanking the western side of a bank to the north. The field boundaries appear to intersect with earthworks of a series of northeast to southwest aligned trackways (MDV116413), although it is largely unclear how, or if these earthworks may be associated. The field boundaries are not depicted on the Parish Tithe map of approximately 1838-48, so appear to have passed out of use by this time. The earthworks are clearly visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016.
