(28/09/1988) Only one of these two features is visible on the ground i.e. the "bank" running NE to SW. It is a slight scarp 1.5m long x 0.3m high, dropping to the S. It runs intermittently from a field boundary at SX 6667 7406 for 115m to SX 6657 7403. It is almost certainly a modern lynchet left after the removal of a temporary fence dividing the present field, a fact confirmed by an AP.
