Summary
The relict remains of a former field boundary are visible as earthwork banks on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards and on visualisations of lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. They probably fell out of use by the mid-19th century.

Two curvilinear earthwork banks, up to approximately 6 metres wide, are visible on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards and on visualisations of lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. They do not correspond to any features depicted on the historic mapping, and are interpreted as relict remains of a field boundary bank in two parts that fell out of use by the mid-19th century. This area has been characterised as ‘Barton’ fields, and the boundary may have become disused during a period of land reorganisation in the 15-18th century.
