A linear earthwork bank, circa 7m wide, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946, to the northeast of The Oaks, Abbotskerswell. The earthwork is north to south aligned and is in keeping with the historic field pattern depicted in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map which is characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields, although it does not correspond with any linear features shown on this map, or on subsequent available historic maps. The earthwork is therefore interpreted as a possible relict field boundary of medieval or post-medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century. The earthwork is not visible on aerial imagery after 1946 and has likely been levelled.
