Summary
A T-shaped bank, interpreted as a relict field boundary of medieval or post-medieval date, is visible as a subtle earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2004 and 2013. The field boundary had been removed by the mid-19th century.

A T-shaped bank, circa 5 metres wide and orientated north-east to south-west and north-west to south-east, is visible as a subtle earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2004 and 2013.
The earthwork does not correspond with any features shown in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, but is in keeping with the surrounding historic field pattern, which is characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields.
The form of the earthwork supports the interpretation that it is a relict field boundary of medieval or post-medieval date, that had been removed by the mid-19th century.
