Parallel earthwork ridges, approximately 6 metres in width, are visible within a small field on aerial photographs taken between 1947 and 1963. They are aligned roughly north-west to south-east, and stop approximately 10 metres to the east of the western field boundary. It is possible that they are the remains of medieval ridge and furrow, but could be post-medieval in date. They are not visible on later available aerial photographs and the area has since been developed.
