Summary

A probable former medieval field boundary is visible as a curvilinear earthwork ditch on images derived from Lidar data collected between 1998 and 2012. It probably passed out of use by the mid nineteenth century but remains are likely to survive.

A curvilinear ditch, up to 3 metres wide, is visible as an earthwork on images derived from Lidar data collected between 1998 and 2012. It is parallel to the extant field boundary to the north-west and appears to be a continuation of a relict bank to the north-east. Its alignment conforms to the wider field pattern, which has been characterised as medieval in origin and based on strip fields. It is likely to be the remains of a former medieval field boundary, enclosing a narrow field similar in shape and size to the two fields immediately to the north-west. It is not depicted on the Tithe map and therefore probably passed out of use by the mid nineteenth century. Earthwork remains are likely to survive.
