Full Description
July 2013. Field visit.
Low earthwork bank, about 4m wide and up to 0.3m tall. Its location was recorded using a handheld GPS unit (which struggled to secure a signal under the dense tree canopy).
The southwestern end of the bank is adjacent to NHER 25487. If NHER 25487 is a prehistoric burial mound, the bank may respect it. If NHER 25487 was produced during post medieval/modern quarrying, it is likely some of the bank has been lost.
The bank does not appear on the tithe map (S1) or the Ordnance Survey 1st edition 6 inch map (S2).

The undated earthwork bank described above is probably the same feature as a right-angled bank visible slightly further to the east (between TL 7699 9110 and TL 7701 9115) on imagery from a lidar survey flown in 2015 (S3). This was recorded as part of a more extensive group of multi-period boundaries and trackways NHER 61516. As the lidar was flown relatively recently, it is probable that the earthwork still survives.
