Summary
Boundary banks, probably of post medieval to modern date, were identified as an earthworks during a site visit. They are also visible as earthworks on lidar imagery from a survey flown in 2015. They correspond with plantation boundaries depicted on historic Ordnance Survey maps, indicating a post medieval to modern date. One of the banks corresponds with the suggested boundary of Santon rabbit warren (NHER 54065), and an earlier origin for that element is plausible.

The boundary banks described above, which are probably of post medieval to modern date, are visible as earthworks on lidar imagery from a survey flown in 2015 (S1). They correspond with plantation boundaries depicted on historic Ordnance Survey maps (such as S2), indicating a post medieval to modern date. One of the banks corresponds with the suggested boundary of Santon rabbit warren (NHER 54065), and an earlier origin for that element is plausible.
