Several parallel curvilinear earthwork banks and ditches are visible on images derived from lidar data captured from 2005. They fit in to the surrounding field system as depicted on the tithe map, which appears to have been based on medieval strip fields. It may have been defined to the south by a bank that runs perpendicular and along the contour. They are adjacent to the field boundaries recorded immediately to the north-west, recorded from aerial photographs (MDV76515) and are part of the same field system. Only those boundaries not depicted on the historic maps have been transcribed.
Understanding Landscapes Project, 2020-2021, University of Exeter Understanding Landscapes Project - Volunteer data, 381.3 (Interpretation). SDV363949.
The central field boundary is shown on epoch 1. The other 3 boundaries spanning the width of the field are only shown on the tithe map.
