Earthwalls are often found in forested areas an can signify the presence of a very old boundary line. They often feature distinctive trees (e.g. pollards, or yews). Here we see an earthwall in a beech wood. The public right of way (bridleway) runs close to and parallel to the earthwall for some way.
