Summary

Low irregular earthwork of former field boundary aligned NW-SE across the ridge. The boundary is shown on the tithe map and later maps and was probably removed in the second half of the twentieth century. The alignment survives well in places but fades into the slope at the SE end. At the NW end the bank seems to lie across an earlier field gutter. There is a slight dip on the uphill side. The earthwork is 1.5 – 2m wide.
