Summary
A linear bank is visible as an earthwork and a cropmark on aerial photographs between 1946 and 1959. The bank is interpreted as a field boundary of medieval or post-medieval date which became disused before the Tithe map was surveyed in 1840, possibly as a result of post-medieval land reorganisation. It may have been levelled.

A linear bank, approximately 3 mteres in width and aligned approximately north to south, is visible as a clear earthwork then as a cropmark on aerial photographs between 1946 and 1959. The Historic Landscape Character type for this area is 'Barton' fields, and this bank is interpreted as a field boundary of medieval or post-medieval date which became disused before the Tithe map was surveyed in 1840, possibly as a result of post-medieval land reorganisation when the Barton field sytem was laid out. It is not visible on any later available aerial photographs and may have been completely levelled.
