Summary
Curvilinear earthworks of a bank flanked by a ditch, interpreted as a relict field boundary of potential medieval date, are visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2004 and 2013. The field boundary had probably passed out of use by the mid-19th century.

Curvilinear earthworks of a bank flanked by a ditch, both circa 7m wide and northwest to southeast aligned, are visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2004 and 2013.
The earthworks do not correspond with any curvilinear features shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, but are in keeping with the surrounding historic field pattern, which is characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields.
The earthworks are interpreted as a relict bank and ditched field boundary of potential medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century. It was possibly replaced by a later field boundary depicted on historic maps to the immediate west.
