Summary
Earthworks of two linear banks, interpreted relict field boundaries of medieval or post-medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century, are visible on aerial imagery taken from 1946 onwards and on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013.

Earthworks of linear banks, circa 4.5m wide and northwest to southeast aligned, are visible on aerial imagery taken from 1946 onwards and on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. 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 broadly in keeping with the historic field pattern depicted in this location. 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.
