Summary
A curvilinear bank, visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946 and more clearly as a defined earthwork on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, is interpreted as the remains of a medieval field boundary that went out of use before the mid-19th century.

A broad curvilinear earthwork bank, in parts up to approximately 8 metres wide, is visible in two segments on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, but only indistinctly visible as a pale cropmark on aerial photographs taken in 1946. It fits into the field pattern and is interpreted as a relict field boundary. Its curvilinear shape indicates a likely medieval origin, but it is not depicted on the Tithe map and any field boundary here probably went out of use before the mid-19th century.
