A linear earthwork bank, circa 90m long and 6m wide, is visible on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards and digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, at Witheridge Cottage, Ogwell. The earthwork is northeast to southwest aligned, with a short offshoot towards its southwest extent. It does not correspond with any linear features shown in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on subsequent available historic maps, although is in keeping with the historic field pattern depicted in this location. It is therefore interpreted as a relict field boundary of medieval or post-medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
