Linear and curvilinear earthwork banks, circa 3m wide and northeast to southwest and northwest to southeast aligned, are visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2019. The earthworks partly correspond with two field boundaries shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map. They are therefore interpreted as field boundaries of medieval or post-medieval date which had partly fallen out of use by the mid-19th century. One of the banks to the south overlies, and so presumably post-dates, an earthwork ditch of a possible medieval or post-medieval field boundary or drain (MDV128414).
