Two curvilinear earthwork banks and a broad earthwork ditch perpendicular to the north at which they seem to terminate are visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. They are very broad at up to 7 metres wide and manifest in the same way as equally poorly-defined earthworks in the field to the north which correspond in location to boundaries depicted on the Tithe map. They are located in an area characterised as fields of medieval origin and are interpreted as the remains of former medieval field boundaries. A very straight field boundary depicted on the late-19th century mapping appears to cross one of the earthworks and may be a later phase of enclosure.
