Summary
A pale curvilinear cropmark, visible on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards and part-visible as an earthwork on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, is interpreted as the remains of a medieval field boundary that went out of use before the mid-19th century.

A curvilinear pale cropmark, up to approximately 3 metres wide, is visible on aerial photographs taken from 1946 and part is visible as an earthwork on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. It broadly fits into the field pattern, and may be contiguous with a field boundary immediately to the north. Together with its curvilinear form suggests that it is the remains of a field boundary of medieval origin. It is not depicted on the Tithe map and any field boundary here probably went out of use before the mid-19th century.
