Full description

The eastern earthwork largely corresponds with a field boundary on this map.

Earthwork banks are visible.

Earthwork banks interpreted as relict medieval field boundaries are visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, to the southwest of Laskey Bridge, Broadhempston. The two parallel and linear plough-spread earthworks measure up to 25m in width and closely respect the historic field pattern depicted on the 1841 Parish Tithe Map and characterised as medieval enclosures based on strips fields. The eastern of the two earthworks largely corresponds with a field boundary shown on this map, whilst that to the west had evidently passed out of use by this time.
