A linear bank, circa 4m wide, is visible as an earthwork on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, to the south of Bearah, Ogwell. The east to west aligned earthwork is in keeping with the surrounding historic field pattern characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields, although does not correspond with any linear features on this map, or on subsequent available historic maps. It is therefore interpreted as a relict medieval or post-medieval field boundary which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century. The earthwork is not visible on other available aerial imagery.
