More information : SU 09076449 to SU 09456449. A boundary feature extending
along a S facing hillside for 400.0m with a central break of 80.0m.
It comprises a 4.0m wide and 0.4m deep ditch with a bank on the lower
side 4.0m wide overall and 0.6m maximum height. The condition on the
whole is not good, and it has been ploughed over. The earthwork may
have linked with a similar one 350.0m to the E (SU 06 NE 41) but
numerous hollow ways have destroyed intermediate traces. Presumed to
be of LBA or IA origin, and to form part of the other local field
system or ranch boundaries.
