Summary
Earthworks of curvilinear and linear banks, interpreted as possible relict field boundaries of potential medieval date, are visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2004 and 2013. The possible field boundaries had been removed by the mid-19th century.

Curvilinear and linear banks, circa 5 metres wide and orientated north-east to south-west, are visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2004 and 2013. The earthworks do not correspond with any features shown in this location 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.
The form of the earthwork supports the interpretation they are possible relict field boundaries of potential medieval origin that had been removed by the mid-19th century.
