Summary
A curvilinear bank or ridge, visible most clearly on images derived from lidar data captured in 2010, is tentatively interpreted as the remains of a removed medieval or post-medieval field boundary, but could be of geological origin.

A curvilinear ridge or bank, up to 12 metres in width, is most clearly visible on images derived from lidar data captured in 2010. No field boundaries are depicted in this exact location on the available historic mapping, and the bank does not easily slot into the historic field pattern, and may predate it. Alternatively it is possible that the feature is of natural origin, perhaps a geological outcrop, although it does not closely follow the contour and this cannot be stated with any confidence. A dark curvilinear cropmark, circa 2-3 metres in width, is visible in this location on aerial photographs taken in 1947, but may have resulted from the movement of agricultural machinery along the bank. Further investigation would be required to ascertain the character and date of this feature.
