Several curvilinear earthwork banks, up to 8 metres in width, are visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. Two of these are depicted on the historic mapping, but seven are not and it is these have been transcribed. Their curvilinear shape and layout suggests that they are the remains of medieval boundaries that went out of use by the mid-19th century. They are not visible on the available aerial imagery and may have been reduced by ploughing.
