An earthwork bank was visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016 as an earthwork on north-west-facing slopes below Holmsleigh Farm, Monkton Parish. The bank is less than 4 metres wide and visible for circa 98 metres. It is interpreted as a former field boundary. It does not correspond with any boundary depicted on the Tithe Map for Monkton and therefore probably passed out of use prior to the 1840s.
