Summary
A curvilinear earthwork ditch, visible as a dark cropmark on aerial photographs taken in 1946 and on images derived from lidar data captured in 2013, is interpreted as the remains of a medieval field boundary that went out of use before the mid-19th century.

A curvilinear ditch, up to approximately 9 metres wide, is indistinctly visible as a dark cropmark on aerial photographs taken in 1946 and as an earthwork on images derived from lidar data captured in 2013. It fits into the extant field pattern in this location, which has been characterised as medieval in origin, and is interpreted as the remains of a field boundary. No features are depicted in this location on the tithe map, and any field boundary in this location presumably went out of use before the mid-19th century.
