Linear earthwork banks, circa 10m wide and northwest to southeast aligned, are visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. Both earthworks correspond with field boundaries of medieval character shown in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, although the eastern of these had evidently passed out of use by the time of the First Edition Ordnance Survey map of the late 19th century as it is no longer shown. They are aligned parallel to the steep east facing combe slope and are interpreted as possible medieval lynchets and field boundaries.
