There is a bank within a field which apears to be an extension of two further field boundaries. Visable on APs.
Royal Commission for the Historical Monuments of England, 1987-1993, Duchy Farms Project Survey Visit, S. A. J. Probert (Report - Survey). SDV350839.
(20/04/1990) There is no ground evidence to support the existence of this feature. On the APU transcription it appears to run between two gateways at field junctions and is therefore probably the result of vehicular activity.
