Summary
A slightly curvilinear earthwork bank, visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014 and on aerial photographs taken in 2000, is interpreted as the probable remains of a medieval field boundary that fell out of use prior to the mid-19th century.

A slightly curvilinear bank, up to 8 metres in width, was visible as a dark cropmark on aerial photographs taken in 2000, and is visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. It partly corresponds to a curvilinear field boundary depicted on the late-19th century and fits into the historic field pattern which has been characterised as originating from medieval strip fields. The bank is interpreted as a relict field boundary of medieval origin, part of which at least fell out of use prior to the late-19th century.
