Two curvilinear perpendicular ditches are visible as earthworks on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. The ditches are flanked by very subtle banks and bisect each other forming a cross shape in a plot west of Widcombe Barton recorded as 'Butter Close' on the Tithe Map. The earthworks do not correspond with any features depicted on historic maps. The east to west orientated ditch is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs dating to the 1940's and both ditches are faintly visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs dating to 2018.
The ditches are interpreted as field boundaries of medieval to post-medieval origin, that passed out of use prior to circa 1840.
