A Desk-based assessment done by Cambridgeshire County Council's Archaeology Field Unit. A clear earthwork feature which runs northeast for over 150m (c4-5m wide and up to 0.80m high) There are some toppled trees and evidence of root damage. It may be that other, more discrete earthworks, survive in this area. Requires scrub clearance to determine this. Possibly linked to Manor of Ocholt (1)
