Two curvilinear earthworks are indistinctly visible on aerial photographs taken in 2007 and on visualisations of lidar data captured in 2013. They are interpreted as possible relict medieval boundaries that went out of use by the mid-19th century.

Two curvilinear earthworks, up to 5 metres wide, are indistinctly visible on aerial photographs taken in 2007 and on visualisations of lidar data captured in 2013. One appears to be a bank and the second, roughly parallel to it and circa 30 metres to the south, a ditch. They fit in to the surrounding field system and are interpreted as possible relict medieval boundaries. No boundaries are depicted in this location on the available historic maps, indicating that any boundaries here probably went out of use by the mid-19th century.
