Summary
Two linear earthwork banks, interpreted as relict field boundaries of medieval or post-medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946 and on visualisations derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017.

Two linear earthwork banks, circa 3.5 and 5.5m wide and both northeast to southwest aligned, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946 and on visualisations derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The earthworks do not correspond with any linear features shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, but are in keeping with the historic field pattern depicted in this location, which is characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields. The earthworks are therefore interpreted as relict field boundaries of medieval or post-medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
