A linear earthwork ditch, circa 14m in width, is visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, to the west of Tripe’s Copse, Woodland. The earthwork is northeast to southwest aligned and is in keeping with the historic field pattern depicted in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map which is characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields. The earthwork does not correspond with any linear features shown on this map, or on later available historic maps and so is therefore interpreted as a relict field boundary of medieval or post-medieval date which had completely passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
