Three parallel curvilinear earthwork ditches, aligned roughly along the contour, are visible on aerial photographs taken from 1947 onwards and on images derived from lidar data captured in 2010. Circa 24 metres apart, and up to 4 metres wide, they are similar in appearance to removed field boundaries of medieval date. No boundaries are depicted in this location on the Tithe Maps and they probably fell out of use by the mid-19th century. Earthworks are likely to survive.
