Two linear earthwork banks, circa 12m wide, are visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The earthworks are aligned parallel to the steep northwest facing slope. They 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 broadly in keeping with the historic field patterns depicted in this location which is characterised as Barton fields. Their character and topographic setting support the interpretation the earthworks represent possible strip lynchets of medieval date.
