Summary
A curvilinear ditch, interpreted as a possible relict field boundary of medieval or post-medieval date, is visible as an earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2005 and 2013. The field boundary had been removed by the late-19th century.

A curvilinear ditch, circa 9 metres wide and orientated east to west, is visible as a slight earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2005 and 2013.
The earthwork does not correspond with any curvilinear features shown in this location on the late-19th century First Edition Ordnance Survey map, or on later available historic maps, but is in keeping with the surrounding historic field pattern.
The form of the earthwork supports the interpretation that it is a possible, but much-denuded, relict field boundary of medieval or post-medieval date, that had been removed by the late-19th century.

Much denuded field boundary not shown on epoch 1. SX 47064 70915.
