Summary
Two linear earthwork banks and a linear ditch, visible on aerial photographs taken in the 1940s and less clearly on visualisations of lidar data captured in 2013, are interpreted as a possible modern drainage ditch and earlier field boundaries.

Two linear earthwork banks and a linear ditch, all approximately or less than a metre wide, are visible on aerial photographs taken in the 1940s, but only indistinctly visible on visualisations of lidar data captured in 2013. The ditch has clear sharp edges and may be a modern century drainage ditch, but the banks are less well-defined and are partially obscured by scrub and are likely to be earlier features, possibly field boundaries.
