Several curvilinear earthwork ditches, up to circa 11 metres wide, are visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. They are interpreted as the plough-spread remains of former field boundaries and their curvilinear shape indicates a likely medieval origin. Some correspond to former field boundaries depicted on the tithe map. Only those that are not depicted on the tithe or late-19th century maps have been transcribed; these are likely to have gone out of use by the mid-19th century.
