Two conjoined curvilinear earthwork banks, between 5 and 7 metres wide, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946. Field boundaries are depicted in these locations on the 1844 Tithe map, but not the 1880s-1890s Ordnance Survey mapping, and the banks are likely to be relict medieval field boundaries that fell into disuse in the second half of the nineteenth century. They are not visible on any available later aerial photographs and may have been levelled.
