Earthwork ditch and bank features interpreted as field boundaries of a former field system of unknown, but potential medieval, date are visible on aerial photographs.

Whilst the earthwork banks recorded here do indeed likely represent former field boundaries of potential medieval date, it seems that the earthwork ditches perhaps more likely form part of a post-medieval to modern catch meadow system. Only part of the photo reference is given in the transcription attributes, so the date of the photograph is not known.
