| Name: | Possible Field Boundary Banks at Haven Cliff |

Summary
Earthworks are visible on aerial photographs from 1946 and on images derived from Lidar data captured in 2008. They could be medieval field boundaries, or possibly the edges of a post-medieval garden platform. Although spread by ploughing, earthworks are very likely to survive.

Two earthwork banks are visible on aerial photographs from 1946 and on images derived from Lidar data captured in 2008, aligned north to south at Haven Cliff. They are slightly curvilinear in plan, suggesting a possible medieval date, and they may be relict field boundaries or lynchets. However it is possible that they are the east and western periphery of an earthwork platform of post-medieval date associated with the gardens of Haven Cliff House. Although they appear narrow and sharply defined in 1946, by 2008 they are up to 10 metres wide, suggesting that the banks had been spread by ploughing. Earthworks are very likely to survive.
