Summary
An earthwork bank constructed to act as the southern boundary to 'Barn Belt' plantation. This bank, along with other field and plantation boundaries in the area (NHER 61091, 61092 and 61093), are particularly important as they represent, and are surviving evidence for, the subdivision of Santon Warren (NHER 54065) during the 19th century.
