Summary

Linear earthwork banks interpreted as relict field boundaries of a possible medieval field system which had largely passed out of use by the mid-19th century are visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2013 and from aerial photographs taken in 2014.

Linear earthwork banks, circa 8m wide and northeast to southwest and northwest to southeast aligned, are visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2013 and from aerial photographs taken in 2014. The earthworks partly define several rectilinear land parcels and with possible exception of a small section of bank to the southwest, the earthworks do not correspond with any linear features on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map. The earthworks are, however, broadly in keeping with the historic field pattern depicted in this location and are interpreted as relict field boundaries of a possible medieval field system which had largely passed out of use by the mid-19th century. The field system may be associated with that recorded in proximity to the southeast (MDV125249).
