It is largely unclear which of the earthworks are associated with this NMP database record. The earthwork ditches themselves more likely represent watercourses of post-medieval to modern date, rather than medieval field boundaries. Only part of the photo reference is given in the transcription attributes, so the date of the photograph is not known.
