Summary

An earthwork bank visible on aerial photographs may be a former post medieval field boundary, or a former road or track. More recent aerial photographs from 2022 and visualised lidar data from a survey flown in 2017 show that the earthwork has been levelled. The feature lies within Vicarage Park (NHER 33465) and may relate to a tree-lined walk recorded has having led from a small pleasure ground surrounding the former vicarage (NHER 46173) at the southern end of the bank to the church (NHER 2890) to the north.
