Linear earthwork banks, circa 4m wide, are visible on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards and on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, at East Ogwell, Ogwell. The earthworks are east to west and north to south aligned and are broadly in keeping with the historic field pattern depicted in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map. It is unknown whether the southern-most earthwork pre or post-dates a road which is shown in this location on this map. The earthworks do not correspond with any linear features on this map, or on subsequent available historic maps and they are therefore interpreted as relict field boundaries of medieval or post-medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
