Transcriptions of two linear ditches correspond to the grid reference for PRN166930.

Running from east to west on either side of the enclosure are ditched linear features that are likely to be the remains of field boundaries. These ditches are on an identical alignment to existing boundaries, and are likely to be of a far later origin than the enclosure. The sites have been digitally plotted as part of the National Mapping Programme.

The NMP transcriptions of these two probable medieval or post-medieval cropmark field boundaries were previously attached to the transcriptions of a prehistoric enclosure, record MDV17625. Given they likely represent different phases of activity, they have been recorded as separate monuments.
