Summary
Curvilinear banks are visible as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2005 and 2013 south-east of Wrixhill. They are interpreted as field boundaries of medieval to post-medieval origin, that passed out of use by the mid-19th century.

Curvilinear banks between circa 9 and 20 metres in width are visible as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2005 and 2013. The banks form an approximate L-shape and T-shape across two south-west facing fields south-east of Wrixhill.
The banks do not correspond with any features depicted on the available historic maps, however they align with some adjacent depicted field boundaries. The historic landscape is characterised as post-medieval enclosures with medieval elements and medieval enclosures based on strip fields.
The banks are interpreted as field boundaries of medieval to post-medieval origin, that passed out of use prior to circa 1840.
Understanding Landscapes Project, 2020-2021, University of Exeter Understanding Landscapes Project - Volunteer data, 426.2 (AP); 426.5 (DS); 426.9 (AP); 426.4 (DS) (Interpretation). SDV363949.
Earthworks identified by two volunteers. 426.4 (DS): ‘Prominent bank forming an extension to existing but terminating in the middle of the field. Not shown on historical maps SX375797’. 426.9 (AP): ‘Old field boundary’, which likely refers to the same feature.
Also, 426.5 (DS): ‘Field divided into 3 parts no division shown on epoch 1 or tithe SX377798’. 426.2 (AP): ‘Curved embankment’, which likely refers to the same feature.
