Summary
A curvilinear ditch north-west of Henaford is visible as a subtle earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013 and is interpreted as a medieval field boundary that may have formed part of a strip field system and that passed out of use by the mid-19th century.

An approximately north-west to south-east orientated curvilinear ditch between circa 6 and 16 metres in width is visible as an earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013.
The ditch does not correspond with any features depicted on the available 19th century historic maps, however it is situated equidistant to and in parallel with flanking extant field boundaries. The historic landscape is characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields.
The earthwork ditch is interpreted as a medieval field boundary, that may have formed part of a strip field system, and that passed out of use prior to circa 1840.
