Summary

Two linear earthwork banks and an adjoining ditch, visible on aerial photographs from 1951 and on images derived from Lidar data captured between 1998 and 2011, are likely to be relict parts of a field system of post-medieval date. They presumably passed out of use by the mid nineteenth century but earthwork remains are likely to survive.

Two linear earthwork banks, up to 4 metres in width, are visible on aerial photographs from 1951 and on images derived from Lidar data captured between 1998 and 2011. They are parallel to the extant field boundaries and are likely to be relict parts of a field system of post-medieval date. Joining and perpendicular to the west end of the bank a linear ditch is visible as an earthwork circa 2.5 metres in width; this may be an associated boundary ditch or a grubbed out hedgerow. It is contiguous with a field boundary depicted on the Tithe map, but this section together with the banks presumably passed out of use by the mid nineteenth century. Earthwork remains are likely to survive.
