Summary
Earthworks of linear and curvilinear banks interpreted as two relict medieval field boundaries which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century are visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The banks have been truncated by the gutters of a 19th century catch meadow system.

Two curvilinear and linear banks, between 6m and 8m wide and north to south aligned, are visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The earthworks do not correspond with any linear or curvilinear features shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, but are closely 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 potential medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century. The field boundaries have been truncated by the earthwork gutters of a 19th century catch meadow irrigation system (MDV126388).
