Summary
A linear bank is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs dating to 1978. It is probably a continuation of one of the straight linear boundaries comprising a post-medieval field system to the north, but which fell out of use before the mid-nineteenth century. It may have been levelled or reduced in height through ploughing.

A linear bank 3 metres in width is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs dating to 1978. It appears to be a continuation of one of the straight linear boundaries comprising a post-medieval field system to the north. It is not depicted in the Tithe map of 1844, and is likely to have fallen into disuse before the mid-nineteenth century. It is not visible on any other available aerial photographs and may have been levelled or reduced by ploughing.
