Three curvilinear earthwork ditches, between 2 and 5 metres wide, are visible on aerial photographs taken from 1946 and on visualisations of lidar data captured in between 1998 and 2017. They are tentatively interpreted as relict medieval boundaries, although they run downslope and could be drainage channels. No features 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.
