Summary

Curvilinear banked features to the west of Kitford, Fifehead Neville, are visible as earthworks on Environment Agency lidar imagery. The features are located within a particularly curvilinear historic field shown on the OS Epoch 1 25 inch map, part of which is followed by the parish boundary and which could potentially fossilise a medieval or earlier enclosure. The features are of uncertain origin but could possibly be of medieval or earlier date, perhaps enclosure or field boundaries, or settlement related.
