Summary
A slight curvilinear bank interpreted as a relict post-medieval field boundary which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century is visible as a pale cropmark on aerial imagery taken in 2007 and as a possible earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013.

A slight curvilinear bank, circa 4m wide and northwest to southeast aligned, is visible as a pale cropmark on aerial imagery taken in 2007 and as a possible earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The bank does not correspond with any curvilinear features shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, but is in keeping with the historic field pattern depicted in this location, which is characterised as Barton fields. It is therefore interpreted as a relict field boundary of post-medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
