Summary

Several curvilinear banks are visible as cropmarks and partial earthworks on aerial photographs taken from the 1940s to 2006 and on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. They are interpreted as relict medieval field boundaries that went out of use by the mid-19th century, perhaps when the land was emparked.

Several curvilinear banks are visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs taken from the 1940s to 2006, in former parkland just south of Widwothy Court. Parts are visible as earthworks on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016, particularly in woodland at circa 320630,99270. They are not depicted on any of the available historic mapping and are interpreted as relict field boundaries that went out of use by the mid-19th century, perhaps when the land was emparked in the post-medieval period. They may be associated with a curvilinear field boundary to the north (MDV118153).
