Summary

A linear earthwork bank, visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 2005 and 2010, is likely to be a post-medieval field boundary bank that passed out of use during the 20th century. It is likely to survive as an earthwork.

A linear earthwork bank, up to 5 metres wide, is visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 2005 and 2010. Landuse on the east of the bank appears to have been different to that on west on aerial photographs taken in 1947, and the bank is interpreted as a field boundary bank of post-medieval or nineteenth century origin. No field boundary is depicted in this location on the historic mapping, although it is contiguous with a field boundary to the south depicted on the Tithe map. This and the width of the bank suggests that it was of post-medieval date and became disused by the mid-19th century. It is likely to survive as an earthwork.
