What is recorded here

A curving earthwork (C c. 199m L) which is indicated on the 1906 edition of the OS 6-inch map is indicated as a field boundary of a farmhouse on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map. Situated in an upland area. Today there are no visible surface remains of this earthwork which appears to be a field boundary of a post-1700 farmhouse, now levelled, both of which are indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map but not on subsequent editions.
