Summary

A probable field boundary of post medieval date and shallow traces of possible post medieval ridge and furrow are visible as earthworks on 1940s aerial photographs. Fragments of the field boundary may be visible on visualised lidar data from a survey flown in 2017, suggesting that remnant earthwork elements still survive, but the majority of the features appear to have been levelled. The features lie within Vicarage Park (NHER 33465, and may pre-date the incorporation of these fields into the park.
