Two closely spaced parallel banks up to circa 4m wide and up to circa 110m long, were visible as earthworks on aerial photographs of the 1940s, to the south-west of the road across Great Haldon, Kenn. The visible earthworks do not correspond with any boundary depicted on the 19th century maps available to the survey, the surrounding area depicted as unenclosed land not subject to Tithes on the 1841 Tithe Map for Kenn (plot 977). The function of the boundary is not known but it is interpreted as potentially medieval in date. It may be a continuation of the earthworks visible to the north-east, recorded as MDV22839. The location of the bank is now obscured by trees and the condition of the earthwork unknown.
