Summary
Linear earthwork banks, interpreted as relict field boundaries of medieval or post-medieval date, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1948 and visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The field boundaries had been removed by the mid-19th century following the landscaping of grounds here associated with Marley House.

Linear earthwork banks, circa 7m wide and northwest to southeast and northeast to southwest aligned, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1948 and visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The earthworks do not correspond with any linear features shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, which show that much of the land here surrounding Marley house has been landscaped. The earthworks are, however, in keeping with the wider historic field pattern, which is characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields. The earthworks are therefore interpreted as relict field boundaries of medieval or post-medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
