Summary
A curvilinear bank, visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs taken in 1988 and as an earthwork on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, is interpreted as the remains of a medieval field boundary that went out of use before the mid-19th century.

A curvilinear bank, up to approximately 8 metres wide, is visible as an earthwork on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, and is indistinctly visible as a dark cropmark on aerial photographs taken in 1988. It appears to join the corner of an extant field boundary, but is not depicted on the Tithe map. It is interpreted as a relict field boundary that fell out of use before the mid-19th century.
