Conjoined curvilinear earthwork ditches, from circa 2 metres wide on the high ground to over 12 metres downslope, are visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. They fit into the field pattern as depicted on the historic mapping, coinciding with now-removed boundaries and kinks in the extant hedgebanks in an area that has been characterised as of medieval origin and based on strip fields. The very much wider ditch may have been widened through erosion. They are interpreted as the remains of medieval field boundaries which, as they are not depicted on the historic mapping, went out of use by the mid-19th century. They appear to have been impacted by later extraction (MDV116426).
