Two curvilinear earthwork ditches, circa 3.5 metres in width, are most clearly visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. They fits into the historic field pattern, which has been characterised as based on medieval strip fields, and both terminate at either a kink or angle in the extant field boundary. As they are not depicted on the available historic mapping, they are interpreted as relict field boundary of medieval origin which fell out of use prior to the mid-19th century.
