Curvilinear ditches are visible as cropmarks and earthworks circa 4m wide and up to circa 120m long, on the north-east facing slopes south of Poultrypark Wood.
The visible cropmarks and earthworks do not correspond with any features depicted on the 19th century maps available to the survey but do appear to be aligned on a former medieval field boundary immediately to the south-west (MDV126538), removed prior to the mid-19th century.
The curvilinear ditches are interpreted as possible trackways of medieval to post-medieval date, that passed out of use by the post-medieval period.
