Monument record MWX43368 - Enclosure and boundary features, Ash Level
Summary
An enclosure and a short section of a bank are visible as earthworks on 1940s aerial photographs.
The enclosure appears to be integrated with the post-medieval field system shown in this area on historic Ordnance Survey mapping and is likely to be contemporary. Its function is unclear but it is likely to be an agricultural feature. The bank is on a differing alignment and may predate this field layout. It may be a water management feature related to the reclamation of land from the Wantsum Channel during the medieval and earlier post-medieval periods.
