Summary
Several curvilinear banks and ditches, visible as earthworks and cropmarks on aerial photographs taken from 1946 and on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, are interpreted as the remains of medieval field boundaries that went out of use before the mid-19th century.

Several curvilinear ditches and banks, between 2 and 4 metres wide, are visible as earthworks and cropmarks on aerial photographs taken in 1946 and one remains visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. They fit into the surrounding field pattern and are interpreted as the remains of former field boundaries and their curvilinear shape indicates a likely medieval origin. Only those that are not depicted on the available 19th century mapping have been transcribed, although the tithe map in this location is not complete. However all the transcribed features are likely to have gone out of use before the end of the 19th century.
