Summary
A curvilinear earthwork bank interpreted as a relict medieval field boundary which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century is visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. It corresponds with a fence line depicted on mid-20th century imagery and may be later in date.

A curvilinear earthwork bank, circa 8m wide and northeast to southwest aligned, is visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The earthwork does not correspond with any linear features shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, but is broadly in keeping with the historic field pattern depicted in this location which is characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields. The earthwork is therefore interpreted as a relict medieval field boundary which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
