Summary

Two parallel linear banks are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs dating from 1946 onwards and together with a third bank are visible on Lidar-derived images using data captured in 2007. No boundaries are depicted in this location on the 1840 Tithe map, and it is probable that the banks are the remains of post-medieval garden features, or possibly earlier agricultural boundaries, that pre-date the mid-nineteenth century.

Two parallel linear banks, alingned north to south and approximately 150 metres apart, are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs dating from 1946 onwards. The westernmost is approximately 4 metres wide, and the easternmost bank is up to 12 metres in width. These and a third bank, aligned east to west and slightly narrower at a width of 3 metres, which joins the two banks at their southern end, are visible on Lidar-derived images using data captured in 2007. No boundaries are depicted in this location on the 1840 Tithe map, and it is probable that the banks are the remains of post-medieval garden features, or possibly earlier agricultural boundaries, that pre-date the mid-nineteenth century.
