Summary
A linear banked feature is visible as a pale cropmark on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2005 and as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2019. It is interpreted as a relict medieval or post-medieval field boundary that had been removed by the mid-19th century.

A linear banked feature, circa 5 metres wide and orientated north-west to south-east, is visible as a pale cropmark on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2005 and as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2019.
The earthworks do not correspond with any features shown in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, but are in keeping with the surrounding historic field pattern which is characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields.
The earthworks are therefore interpreted as a relict field boundary of medieval or post-medieval date that had been removed by the mid-19th century.
