Possible earthwork features, Moreton Morrell

Description of this historic site

A set of linear earthworks visible on LiDAR imagery; these features are possibly related to the former extent of medieval settlment to the north and west.

Notes about this historic site

12 Linear earthworks were identified to the east of the primary school playing field, from LiDAR imagery, by the AOC Assessment of Local Services Villages for Stratford-on-Avon District Council in 2012.
34 These features are visible on a number of sets of satellite imagery on Google Earth, particularly the 1999 layer. Their form is difficult to determine but they may indicate settlement activity, possibly associated with MWA9013 (medieval settlement at Moreton Morrell), although they may alternatively represent drainage channels. Ridge and furrow earthworks are evident to the immediate south.
