A narrow curvilinear ditch less than 2 metres wide and up to circa 90 long was visible as a subtle earthwork west of Moorpit Farm, Yarcombe parish.
The visible earthwork does not match any boundary depicted on the Ordnance Survey First Edition 25 inch map but may be a continuation of a short length of boundary bank visible to the north-east (MDV119175). It has been interpreted as possible evidence of a former field boundary, potentially of medieval origin, that was removed prior to post-medieval enclosure. The ditch remains visible as a slight earthwork on lidar derived images of 2016.
