Summary
Several curvilinear earthwork banks and a ditch, visible on aerial photographs taken in the 1940s and partly on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, are interpreted as the remains of a medieval field system, parts of which fell out of use before the mid-19th century.

Several curvilinear earthwork banks and a ditch, up to approximately 4 metres wide, are visible on aerial photographs taken in the 1940s. Their curvilinear shape suggests they are medieval in origin, though they are not depicted on the available 19th century mapping, and they are interpreted as field boundaries that fell out of use before the mid-19th century. Only parts are visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, indicating that some of the earthwork have been levelled since the mid-20th century.
