Curvilinear earthwork banks, circa 9m wide and northeast to southwest aligned, are visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2005. The earthworks do not correspond with any curvilinear features shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, but are in keeping with the surrounding historic field pattern. The earthworks are therefore interpreted as relict field boundaries of medieval or post-medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
