A number of parallel curvilinear earthwork ditches are visible on images derived from lidar data captured in 2013. They fit into the field pattern depicted on the 19th century maps, characterised as medieval in origin, and some correspond with boundaries depicted on the tithe map. Only those boundaries not depicted on the Tithe map, which are interpreted as medieval boundaries that fell out of use before the mid-19th century, have been transcribed.
