HER Number:MDV115898
Name:Possible Field Boundaries, southwest of Wallis Farm

Summary

Possible earthwork banks of medieval to post-medieval field boundaries are visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016, to the southwest of Wallis Farm. These earthworks should be viewed with some caution, and it is possible they are the result of modern cultivation.

Possible earthwork banks of medieval to post-medieval field boundaries are visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016, to the southwest of Wallis Farm. The two linear northwest to southeast aligned features are not depicted on the Parish Tithe map of approximately 1838-48, so would appear to have passed out of use by this time. The possible earthworks were not clearly visible on aerial photographs or other digital images made available to the survey. These earthworks should be viewed with some caution, and it is possible they are the result of modern cultivation.
