It is not clear which MORPHE record this earthwork ditch is part of, if any. Its sinuous shape, and depiction on the 1880s-1890s but not 1904-1906 Ordnance Survey mapping, suggests that it is likely to be part of a medieval boundary that went out of use in the late nineteenth or early twentieth century.
