Full Description
February 2000. In narrow north to south meadows to west of church.
A causeway with flanking banks leads directly west, opposite church.
Further south, to south of present track is a bank and probable building platforms at west edge of field.
Viewed from B1355.

A variety of linear banks and ditches, and a series of probable quarry pits are visible in the same area as the causeway, banks and possible building platforms described above. The mapped features are visible predominantly as earthworks on visualised lidar data (S1), but some elements were visible as earthworks or vegetation marks on aerial photographs (S2-S3) as well (or, in the case of one feature, instead). Some of the mapped features are probably the same features as those described above. The suggested ‘causeway’ probably equates to a linear ditch visible on the visualised lidar data, which itself corresponds to a trackway marked on the Ordnance Survey 1st edition 6 inch map (S4) and visible still in use on 1940s aerial photographs (such as S5). The function of the other features is more uncertain, but most appear likely to be of post medieval to modern date. No evidence of building platforms was identified on the aerial sources. As the lidar survey and the aerial photographs are of relatively recent date it is probable that the earthworks still survive.
