Summary
Two ditched linear earthwork features of unknown date are visible on LiDAR data captured in 2007, and on aerial photographs of 1959. They may be contour gutters for a catchmeadow system, but it is possible that they are footpaths between access points through the hedgebanks.

Two linear ditched earthwork features are visible on LiDAR data captured in 2007, and on aerial photographs of 1959. They follow the contour at different elevations in the same small curvilinear field and appear to be cut features less than 2 metres in width. They may be contour gutters for a catchmeadow system, but do not have an obvious water supply source and are not visible in adjacent fields. It is possible that they are footpaths between access points through the hedgebanks.
