Several curvilinear earthwork banks, circa 4 metres wide, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1951. They are interpreted as having formed over the remains of former field boundary banks and their curvilinear shape indicates a likely medieval origin. Some correspond to field boundaries depicted on the tithe map which had been removed by 1951. Only those that are not depicted on the tithe or late-19th century maps have been transcribed; these are likely to have gone out of use by the mid-19th century.
