Earthwork banks of possible lynchets or former field boundaries of medieval or post-medieval are visible on Lidar-derived images of between 1998-2014, to the northwest of The Old Dairy House. The two linear and parallel earthworks are northeast to southwest aligned and are located on moderate northwest facing slope. They are not clearly visible on aerial photographs or other digital images made available to the survey. A series of shorter northwest to southeast aligned former field boundaries are also visible downslope to the immediate north, although these have been recorded separately.
