Two broad curvilinear ditches, up to 7 metres in width, are visible as earthworks on images derived from lidar data captured in 2005. They resemble removed field boundaries in the wider area, but are not depicted on the Tithe Map, so could be the remains of medieval or post-medieval field boundaries that passed out of use prior to the mid-19th century. However they are not visible on any of the available aerial photographs, so interpretation is tentative.
