Summary
Earthworks of linear and curvilinear 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 1969 and visualisations derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017.

Earthworks of linear and curvilinear banks, between 6m and 12m wide and northwest to southeast aligned, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1969 and on visualisations derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The earthworks do not obviously correspond with any linear or curvilinear features in this location 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. They are therefore interpreted as relict field boundaries of medieval or post-medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
