Summary

A curvilinear bank is visible as a subtle earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2004 and 2013 north of Pinslow Farm. It is interpreted as a medieval to post-medieval field boundary that passed out of use by the late-19th century.

A curvilinear bank circa 170 metres in length and between 5 and 8 metres in width, is visible as a subtle earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2004 and 2013. The bank is situated in a field north of Pinslow Farm and orientated approximately north-south, curving to the south-east and joining a track.
The earthwork does not correspond with any features depicted the available 19th century maps. It encloses a plot of possible narrow ridge and furrow (MDV129997). The historic landscape is characterised as barton fields.
The bank is interpreted as a medieval to post-medieval field boundary that passed out of use by the late-19th century.
