An earthwork ditch, circa 2m wide, which forms a curvilinear enclosure circa 24m across is visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2019, on the southeast facing combe slope at Scallard Copse. The earthwork does not correspond with any curvilinear features in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps which show this area as comprising woodland. The enclosure is interpreted as being of potential late prehistoric or Roman date, although could also be of medieval or post-medieval origin. The earthwork is not visible on other available aerial imagery owing to thick tree cover. A site inspection may help to clarify more fully the origin of this earthwork.
