A possible former field boundary of potential medieval date or modern drainage ditch is visible as an earthwork ditch on aerial photographs of 1966 onwards, at Manley. The broad linear earthwork ditch measures approximately 12m in width and is northeast to southwest aligned. The earthwork ditch closely respects the historic field patterns and may form part of a relict medieval field boundary, but which may have passed out of use by the time of the parish tithe map of approximately 1838-48. The earthwork may equally, however, represent a modern ditch, draining water off into the Grand Western Canal. The earthwork remains visible on digital images derived from Lidar data captured between 2005 and 2010.
