Summary
Curvilinear banks and a ditch are visible as subtle earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013 to the south of West Peeke. A series of curvilinear field boundaries are also visible on historic maps. They are interpreted as a medieval strip field system.

Three curvilinear banks and a curvilinear ditch are visible as subtle earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. They are situated in fields to the south of West Peeke on a south-west facing slope.
The earthworks do not correspond with any features depicted on the available historic maps; however they are parallel to depicted curvilinear field boundaries some of which passed out of use in the mid to late-20th century. The historic landscape is characterised as strip fields and medieval enclosures based on strip fields.
The banks and ditch are interpreted as field boundaries that formed a medieval strip field system and that passed out of use prior to circa 1880.
