Two curvilinear earthwork ditches, up to circa 4 metres wide, are visible on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards. They fit into the surrounding field pattern and are interpreted as the remains of medieval field boundaries. The transcribed features do not correspond to boundaries depicted on the tithe map, and are likely to have fallen out of use by the mid-19th century.
