Summary

Linear and curvilinear banks interpreted as relict medieval field boundaries which had partly fallen out of use by the mid-19th century are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs taken in 1986 and digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2013.

Linear and curvilinear banks, circa 7m wide and broadly north to south and northeast to southwest aligned, are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs taken in 1986 and digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The earthworks mostly correspond with field boundaries shown in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, although one of the field boundaries to the south and the northern extent of the northern-most field boundary had evidently passed out of use by this time. The surrounding historic field pattern is characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields and the field boundaries are therefore interpreted as being of potential medieval date. The boundaries have all passed out of use on the 2019 Ordnance Survey MasterMap.

Ordnance Survey, 2019, MasterMap 2019 (Cartographic). SDV362729.

The former boundaries have all passed out of use.
