Linear earthwork banks interpreted as a former field boundary of possible medieval date are visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, to the east of Edgeware, Staverton. The linear earthworks closely respect the historic field patterns in this location characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields. The earthworks do not correspond with any field boundaries in this location on the 1845 Parish Tithe Map, or on subsequent available historic maps, although a later boundary also visible as an earthwork which truncates this boundary is shown. This supports the interpretation that the field boundary had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
