There is no evidence for the continuation of this earthwork to the north-east or south-west. Furthermore, this feature shows no continuity with either the enclosed field system depicted on the tithe map (see 4) or the earlier medieval field-system preserved in the later ridge and furrow (see CHER 11211/1).
