Summary

Two earthwork banks, most likely post medieval in date, are visible on visualised lidar data. The banks are aligned north-south and most likely relate to a boundary bank or a plantation boundary mapped on the Frist and Second edition Ordnance Survey maps. There is an approximately north east – south west aligned bank (NHER 63263) in between the two banks at TL 7787 9315 which may relate to a trackway or part of a former road recorded from historic maps in close proximity (NHER 5003).
