Summary

Linear and curvilinear banks interpreted as relict field boundaries of potential medieval date which had partly fallen out of use by the mid-19th century are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards and on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017.

Linear and curvilinear banks, circa 7m wide and northwest to southeast and east to west aligned are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards and on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The earthworks define a number of rectilinear land parcels, with one of the earthworks to the east possibly truncating, and so post-dating, the two parallel banks to the north. Several of the earthworks correspond with field boundaries shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map and the surrounding historic field pattern is characterised as post-medieval enclosures. The earthworks are interpreted as relict field boundaries of potential medieval date which had partly fallen out of use by the mid-19th century.
