Linear banks, circa 5m wide and northeast to southwest aligned, are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs taken in 1946. The earthworks 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 closely in keeping with the historic field pattern depicted in this location, which is characterised as medieval strip enclosures. The earthworks are therefore interpreted as forming part of a relict field boundary of potential medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century. The earthworks are not visible on the available aerial imagery after 1946 and have possibly since been levelled.
