Summary

A curvilinear bank, visible as a cropmark and an earthwork on aerial photographs taken from 1947 and on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014, is interpreted as the relict remains of a former medieval or post-medieval boundary bank that went out of use by the late-19th century.

A curvilinear bank, circa 2.5 metres wide, is visible as a cropmark and an earthwork on aerial photographs taken from 1947 onwards, and a clear earthwork on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. It is not depicted on the available historic mapping, although it corresponds to a row of mature broadleaf trees depicted on the late-19th century OS maps. It is interpreted as a relict medieval or post-medieval field boundary bank that had fallen out of use by the late-19th century.
