Linear and curvilinear banks, circa 6m wide and northwest to southeast aligned, are visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The earthworks do not correspond with any linear or 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 situated on the steep southwest facing slope and are interpreted as possible medieval strip lynchets.
