Curvilinear earthwork banks and ditches are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1947 and on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. They manifest in a similar way to relict field boundaries that are depicted on the Tithe map and are interpreted as the relict remains of former medieval or post-medieval field boundaries. They are not depicted on the available historic mapping and are likely to have fallen out of use by the mid-19th century.
