Earthwork ditches, circa 8m wide and northeast to southwest aligned, are visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The eastern of the three earthworks partly corresponds with a field boundary shown in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, although the remaining earthworks are not shown on this map, or on later available historic maps, and had evidently passed out of use by this time. The earthworks are closely in keeping with the historic field pattern depicted in this location, which is characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields. They are therefore interpreted as relict field boundaries of potential medieval date.
