HER Number:MDV106664
Name:Relict Field Boundary South-East of Ware House

Summary

A relict medieval or post-medieval field boundary is visible as a linear earthwork bank and ditch on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards, and on images derived from Lidar data captured between 2006 and 2007. It probably passed out of use by the mid nineteenth century but earthwork remains are likely to survive.

A linear bank and adjacent ditch, together circa 3.5 metres in width, are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards, and images derived from Lidar data captured between 2006 and 2007. They are perpendicular to, and adjoin, a relict field boundary bank of probable medieval date, and may be contemporary with this feature, or post-date it. Although this relict field boundary appears to have passed out of active use by the mid nineteenth century, earthwork remains are likely to survive.
