A number of roughly parallel, curvilinear earthwork banks, circa 3-4 metres wide and between 15 and 30 metres apart, are visible on aerial photographs taken from 1947 onwards and on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. A few are depicted on the 19th century mapping, and the others are interpreted as relict medieval boundaries based on strip fields. Only the banks that are not depicted on the mapping have been transcribed.
