Two curvilinear banks, circa 7m wide and northeast to southwest aligned, are visible as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The earthworks do not correspond with any curvilinear features shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, but are in keeping with the historic field pattern depicted in this location, which is characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields. The earthworks are therefore interpreted as relict field boundaries of potential medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
