Three possible curvilinear banks, up to 2 metres wide and circa 20 metres apart, are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs taken in 1984. No boundaries are depicted in this location on the available historic maps although they are broadly parallel to a field boundary depicted on the late-19th century OS map circa 24 metres to the east. Their form and layout suggests that they could be the remains of medieval field boundary banks that became disused prior to the mid-19th century. As they are not visible on any other available aerial photographs interpretation is tentative.
