Summary

The earthworks (since levelled) of a probable medieval to post medieval field boundary are visible on aerial photographs. The earthworks are not visible on the relatively recent (2017) visualised lidar data and are presumed to have been levelled. Although the feature likely relates to a medieval to post medieval field boundary, the possibility that the feature could relate a post medieval drainage ditch cannot be ruled out.
