Summary
Several curvilinear banks and ditches, visible as earthworks and cropmarks on aerial photographs taken from 1946 and on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, are interpreted as the remains of medieval field boundaries that went out of use before the mid-19th century.

Several curvilinear ditches and banks, between 1 and 10 metres wide, are visible as earthworks and cropmarks on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards and on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. They fit into the surrounding field pattern and are interpreted as the remains of former field boundaries and their curvilinear shape indicates a likely medieval origin. Only those that are not depicted on the Tithe map have been transcribed and these probably went out of use before the mid-19th century. The features have been transcribed from several sources.
