Several curvilinear earthwork banks, up to circa 5 metres in width, are visible on aerial photographs taken from 1947 and images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. They fit into the field pattern and some are partly visible as boundaries on the historic mapping. Only those that are not depicted on the historic mapping have been transcribed and these are interpreted as the relict remains of medieval field boundary banks that had fallen out of use by the mid-19th century.
