An earthwork boundary bank of a probable post medieval date is visible on recent (2017) visualised lidar data (S1). The boundary bank may have related to a former post medieval field boundary. The bank feature is also situated within West Bradenham Park (NHER 51552). It is therefore also possible that the bank may have related to a boundary bank or parkland feature associate with West Bradenham Park. The feature is not visible on the readily available historic maps (such as S2 and S3). As the feature is visible as an earthwork on the recent (2017) visualised lidar data, it is likely that the feature still survives as earthwork.
