Summary

The earthworks and soilmarks of boundary banks and ditches of uncertain, but possible medieval to post-medieval date, has been identified on the 0.5m resolution Lidar data and aerial photographs. Two of the banks recorded from the lidar are located within a large area of post-medieval extraction (NHER 32593) and therefore are likely to be of relatively late date.
