Summary

Possible earthwork ditch and banked features of uncertain date are visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016, on northeast facing slopes, to the north of Trimshayes Farm. The origin of these earthworks is, however, largely uncertain. They may be of archaeological significance, although it is also possible they are of geological origin

Possible earthwork ditch and banked features of uncertain date are visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016, on northeast facing slopes, to the north of Trimshayes Farm. The earthworks were poorly defined, although appear to comprise a northwest to southeast aligned bank, with two possible mounds on its eastern side and with possible sections of banks and a ditch to the southeast and west. The origin of these earthworks is, however, largely uncertain. They may be of archaeological significance such as possible field boundaries, although it is also possible they are of geological origin.
