Summary

A linear bank is visible on aerial photographs taken between 1959 and 1978 as an earthwork and parts may survive below a cover of scrubby vegetation. It is interpreted as a medieval or post-medieval infield boundary which became disused in the second half of the nineteenth century.

A linear bank, aligned approximately north to south and less than 2 metres in width, is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs taken between 1959 and 1978. A field boundary is depicted in this location on the 1844 Tithe Map, but is not depicted on the 1880s-1890s Ordnance Survey mapping, and the bank is probably a relict infield boundary of medieval or post-medieval date which became disused in the second half of the nineteenth century. Study of aerial photographs dating to 2007 indicated the site had scrubbed over and a building has been constructed, but the bank could survive at least partially as an earthwork.
