Possible ridge and furrow and a field boundary of a possible post medieval date are visible as earthworks on recent (2017) visualised lidar data (S1). The relatively strait form of the ridge and furrow may suggest a post medieval date for the features. The features are within Dunham Lodge Park (NHER 51588) and it is possible that the ridge and furrow may relate to the pre parkland landscape. Although the features are likely to be archaeological in origin, it is possible that the features could relate to modern drainage. As the earthworks are visible on the recent (2017) visualised lidar data, it is likely that the features survive as earthworks.
