Earthwork banks are visible on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards and on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The earthworks comprise a single linear northeast to southwest bank, circa 2m wide, with sections of bank to the north, circa 8m wide, which form part of a curvilinear northwest to southeast aligned feature. 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 closely in keeping with the historic field pattern depicted in this location which is characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields. The earthworks are therefore interpreted as relict field boundaries of potential medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
