Summary
A linear bank, approximately 2.5 metres in width, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946. It has been impacted by deep ploughing which has cut through the bank at right angles every 5 metres. No field boundary is depicted in this location on the Tithe Map of 1844, and the bank is likely to be a relict field boundary which fell out of use before the mid-nineteenth century. Its survival is not known but slight earthworks may remain.
