Two linear field boundaries are visible as earthwork ditches and a bank, both circa 7m wide, on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, at Woodlands, Hennock. The intersecting boundaries are on two alignments. That which is northwest to southeast aligned is of potential medieval date and comprises a ditch flanked to the north by a bank. This field boundary is not shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map and had evidently passed out of use by this time. It is bisected by a later, post-medieval and extant field boundary which is north to south aligned and visible as an earthwork ditch.
