Summary
An earthwork of a curvilinear ditch, interpreted as a relict field boundary of potential medieval date, is 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.

An earthwork of a curvilinear ditch, circa 12m wide and northeast to southwest aligned, is visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2004 and 2013.
The earthwork does not correspond with any curvilinear 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 medieval enclosures based on strip fields.
The earthwork is interpreted as a relict field boundary of potential medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century. It possibly forms a continuation of a field boundary depicted on historic maps to the immediate southwest.
