A curvilinear ditch circa 140 metres in length and between circa 2 and 8 metres in width is visible as a subtle earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2004. The bank is orientated approximately north-east to south-west within woodland on a gentle north facing slope south-west of Kennicott.
The ditch does not correspond to any features depicted on the available historic maps, however it aligns to a depicted field boundary to the north-east. The plot is recorded as ‘Well Park Wood’ in the Tithe Apportionment.
The ditch is interpreted as a former field boundary of medieval to post-medieval origin that passed out of use prior to circa 1840.
