Full description

A curvilinear field boundary is visible on aerial photographs as an earthwork in a field east of Benton Farm, Bratton Fleming. It is not depicted on the first edition Ordnance Survey map of 1889, suggesting it was removed prior to this date, and the curved form of the bank suggests a possible Medieval date. Other details: Monument Number 1488954.
