A curvilinear ditch up to circa 4m wide and up to circa 110m long is visible on aerial photographs of 1946 and digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017 as a linear earthwork ditch on south-west facing slopes south of Olchard.
The visible earthworks does not correspond with any features depicted on the 19th century maps available to the survey. It is interpreted as possible evidence of a former field boundary potentially of medieval origin that was fully removed prior to circa 1840.
