Possible earthwork banks of uncertain date are visible on aerial photographs of 1971, to the southeast of Hartsmoor Bridge. The features comprise an L-shaped bank, northeast to southwest and north to south aligned, with a linear northeast to southwest bank to its north. It is possible they represent former field boundaries, although if so, appear to have passed out of use by the time of the Parish Tithe Map. There is, however, some degree of uncertainty as to the nature of these features and it is possible they are non-archaeological in origin. They are also not visible on other aerial photographs or digital images made available to the survey.
