Full Description

January 2001. NMP
A linear earthwork bank is visible at TF 6974 4345 to TF 6991 4355 on the 1944 aerial photographs (S1). It is approximately 200m long, and appears to overlie the ridge and furrow in this area (NHER 26716). Its date and function are unclear, but it does not appear on the historic maps for this area, suggesting a possible modern date. The feature is also visible on 1971 aerial photographs (S2), but by this date, it appears as a ditch, still overlying the ridge and furrow.
A. Hunt (NMP), 23 January 2001.
