Earthwork ditches, circa 10m wide and northeast to southwest and northwest to southeast aligned, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946 and digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The earthworks do not correspond with any linear features shown in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, but are in keeping with the historic field pattern in this location characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields and post-medieval enclosures. The earthworks are therefore interpreted as possible relict field boundary of medieval or post-medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
