HER Number:MDV116019
Name:Relict Field Boundary north of Lewsley Farm, Membury Parish

Summary

A probable relict medieval field boundary is visible as a curvilinear earthwork bank on aerial photographs taken from 2000 onwards and on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. It appears to have fallen out of use before the mid-19th century.

A curvilinear earthwork bank, circa 1.5 metres in width, is visible on aerial photographs taken from 2000 onwards and on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. It is roughly parallel to and circa 110 metres to the north of an extant curvilinear field boundary in an area characterised as medieval enclosures. At its western end it terminates at the corner of an extant field boundary. It is therefore interpreted as the remains of a medieval boundary bank that went out of use prior to the mid-19th century.
