Summary
A linear earthwork bank, interpreted as a relict post-medieval field boundary, is visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 1999 and visualisations derived from lidar imagery captured in 2019. The field boundary had likely passed out of use by the mid-19th century.

A linear earthwork bank, circa 5m wide and northeast to southwest aligned, is visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 1999 and visualisations derived from lidar imagery captured in 2019. The earthwork does not correspond with any linear features shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, but is in keeping with the surrounding historic field pattern, which is characterised as Barton fields. The earthwork is therefore interpreted as a relict field boundary of post-medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century. The bank intersects a curvilinear earthwork of a possible natural water channel.
