Two conjoined curvilinear banks are visible as earthworks on images derived from Lidar data captured in 2006. One is parallel, and the other contiguous with, extant field boundaries of medieval character, although neither is depicted on the available historic maps. The earthworks are interpreted as relict medieval field boundary banks that went out of use by the mid nineteenth century. Only one was well defined enough to be transcribed, and the other is up to 5 metres in width, suggesting that they are likely to have been spread by ploughing.
