Summary

Earthworks in the field to the north of Wonwell Court are visible on aerial photographs taken in 2002. They are tentatively interpreted as enclosure banks or the remains of medieval settlement. The northern part of the field has since been developed, and it is unclear to what extent the earthworks survive.

Earthworks in the field to the north of Wonwell Court are visible on aerial photographs taken in 2002. They appear to include low wide banks, approximately 8 metres in width, that run cross contour, apparently terminating in a curvilinear bank. These may be early enclosure boundaries, perhaps relating to medieval settlement at Wonwell. The northern part of the field has since been developed and it is unclear to what extent the earthworks survive.
