Full description
South West Heritage Trust, 1838-1848, Digitised Tithe Maps and Transcribed Apportionments (Cartographic). SDV359954.
The visible earthworks do not correspond with any field boundary depicted on the Tithe Map for Cornwood, but do appear to be continuations of field boundaries depicted to the south-east.

Banks are visible as subtle earthworks.

Two linear banks up to circa 15m wide and almost 150m long are visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017 as subtle earthworks on the south-east facing slopes to the west of Slade.
The visible earthworks do not correspond with any boundaries depicted on the 19th or early 20th century maps available to the survey but are in keeping with the surrounding field pattern. In particular they appear to be continuations of field boundaries depicted to the south-east.
The earthworks are interpreted as the spread remains of former field boundaries of probable medieval origin that were removed from use prior to circa 1840.
