Name: | Relict Field Boundary South of Shillingford Abbot |

Summary
A linear earthwork bank, visible on aerial photographs taken taken from 1946 onwards and partially on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2012, is interpreted as a probable relict field boundary of medieval or post-medieval origin that fell out of use prior to the mid-19th century.

An earthwork bank, circa 150 metres in length by 2.5 metres in width, and aligned roughly south-east to north-west, is visible on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards and partially on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2012. A linear field boundary is depicted in this approximate location on the Tithe Map, but apparently on a slightly different alignment and only on the north side of Matford Brook. A short stretch of the earthwork appears to continue to the south of this watercourse, whilst the part on the northern side incorporates a slight change of direction that is not reflected in the mapped field boundary. The earthwork may therefore pre-date the boundary depicted on the Tithe mapping, and is interpreted as a relict field boundary of medieval or post-medieval origin that fell out of use prior to the mid-19th century.
