Several linear earthwork banks and ditches, circa 2 metres in width, are visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014 and on aerial photographs taken from 1947 onwards. Some of these correspond to field boundaries depicted on 19th century mapping, although only the four that are not depicted on historic mapping have been transcribed as part of this project. They fit into the field pattern of small and irregularly shaped fields, and are interpreted as medieval or post-medieval in origin.
