Two curvilinear earthwork ditches, up to 5 metres wide and 27 metres apart, are visible on aerial photographs taken between 1950 and 1986. They fit into the field pattern and are interpreted as the remains of former field boundaries. Their curvilinear shape indicates a likely medieval origin, but they are not depicted on the Tithe map and any field boundaries here probably went out of use before the mid-19th century.
