Contiguous linear earthwork ditches, between 10m-15m wide and north to south and east to west aligned, are visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The western ditch corresponds with a field boundary shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, although the remaining ditches do not correspond with any field boundaries on this map, or on later available historic maps. They are in keeping with the historic field pattern depicted in this location which is characterised as post-medieval enclosures and are therefore interpreted as relict field boundaries of possible post-medieval date which had largely passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
