Summary

Broad, irregular earthwork, of a low, lumpy appearance. Possibly represents the remains of a flattened fieldbank. The bank is aligned NW-SE in the SW side of field 146 and runs downhill towards the area of the old cowshed. At the SE end it briefly turns S and is lost/cut within an area of more recent disturbance associated with the old cowshed. The width of the bank varies, average about 2.5m and about 0.2 - 0.3m high. An indistinct feature, age uncertain. Nothing is shown on the historic map sequences.
