Summary
Several conjoined curvilinear earthwork ditches, interpreted as relict medieval field boundaries, are visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. In part they are visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs taken from 1948.

Several conjoined shallow curvilinear earthwork ditches, up to 12 metres in width, are visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. Some parts correspond to curvilinear pale cropmarks visible on aerial photographs from the 1940s onwards. No field boundaries are depicted in this location on the available historic mapping. The earthworks are interpreted as the relict remains of medieval field boundaries which went out of use by the mid-19th century. Their orientation and pattern is consistent with the parallel curvilinear boundaries that have their origin in medieval strip fields.
