Summary

Several curvilinear earthwork banks and a single ditch, interpreted as the remains of medieval or post-medieval field boundaries, are visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014 and less distinctly on aerial photographs taken from the 1940s onwards.

Several linear, curvilinear and rectilinear earthwork banks, between 2 and 4 metres in width, are visible on aerial photographs from the 1940s onwards, but most clearly and completely on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. Some are depicted on the historic mapping, but six banks and a ditch are not, and these have been transcribed. It is likely that these are the remains of medieval or post-medieval field boundaries that predate the mid-19th century, and possible that they went out of use when the land was emparked.
