The fragmentary remains of two double-ditched linear features running SW-NE are visible on aerial photos (p1). It is possible that they are the remains of field boundaries; they appear to be on a similar alignment to extant boundaries immediately to the east and north. They have been digitally plotted as part of the National Mapping Programme.
