HER Number:MDV106604
Name:Relict Field Boundary South of Charton

Summary

Two curvilinear earthwork banks, visible on aerial photographs taken from 1946 and on images derived from Lidar data captured between 2006-2007, are interpreted as relict medieval field boundaries that passed out of use by the mid nineteenth century. Earthwork remains are likely to survive.

Two curvilinear earthwork banks are visible on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards and on images derived from Lidar data captured between 1998 and 2007. They are parallel to extant field boundaries depicted on the Tithe map, and interpreted as relict medieval field boundaries that went out of use by the mid nineteenth century. Earthwork remains are likely to survive.
