A curvilinear bank up to 4 metres wide was visible to the east of Pit Copse, Yarcombe parish, as a cropmark on aerial photographs of 1971 and on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016 as a low earthwork.
The earthwork has been interpreted as evidence of a possible field boundary. It does not corresponded with any boundaries depicted on the 19th century mapping available to the survey but is located in an area of enclosure characterised as being medieval in origin. It is interpreted as evidence of a boundary of medieval origin.
