Three curvilinear earthwork banks, between approximately 4 and 6 metres wide, are visible on images derived from lidar data captured in 2017 and on aerial photographs taken in 2018. No boundaries are depicted in their exact locations on the available historic mapping, although they fit into the extant field pattern as depicted on the Tithe maps. They are interpreted as the remains of medieval field boundaries or terraces that went out of use by the mid-19th century.
