Two curvilinear earthwork ditches, circa 2 metres wide, are visible on aerial photographs taken between 1946 and 1957. They are not the correct orientation to be part of a catchmeadow, and are tentatively interpreted as the remains of former field boundaries; their curvilinear shape indicates a likely medieval origin. They are not depicted on the available 19th century mapping and so are likely to have gone out of use by the mid-19th century.
