(28/09/1988) Visible on the ground, running north-east by south-west. It is a slight scarp 1.5m long by 0.3m high, dropping to the south. 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 Ordnance Survey aerial photo.
