Three lynchet or strip field boundaries are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs taken in the 1940s. They are likely to be of medeval origin, becoming disused before the mid nineteenth century, although Lidar data indicates earthworks are very likely to survive.

Three earthwork banks or possibly the slopes of lynchets are visible on aerial photographs taken in the 1940s and on images derived from Lidar data captured between 2001 and 2010. No field boundaries are depicted in this location on historic mapping and these earthworks are probably the remains of narrow strip fields of medieval date that fell out of use before the mid nineteenth century. However earthworks are very likely to survive in this location.
