| Name: | Field boundaries at North Huish Cross, North Huish |

Summary
Curvilinear earthwork banks, interpreted as relict field boundaries of medieval or post-medieval date, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1951 and visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2019. The field boundaries had likely passed out of use by the mid-19th century.

Two curvilinear earthwork banks, circa 8m and 20m wide and northeast to southwest and northwest to southeast aligned, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1951 and visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2019. The earthworks do not correspond with any curvilinear features shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, but are keeping with the surrounding historic field pattern. They are interpreted as possible relict field boundaries of medieval or post-medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century. Some degree of caution should, however, be exercised with regards to the southern of the two earthworks which may be geological in origin.
