Summary

A curvilinear bank is visible as a cropmark up to 4 metres in width on aerial photographs taken in 1989. It is aligned approximately east to west for circa 340 metres and may continue into the field to the east. No field boundary is depicted in this location on the 1840 Tithe map, and it seems likely that the cropmark has formed over the remains of a medieval or post-medieval field boundary bank that went out of use prior to the mid nineteenth century. It may be associated with possible medieval ridge and furrow immediately to the south.
