Linear earthwork banks, circa 7m wide and northeast to southwest 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 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. The earthworks are therefore interpreted as relict field boundaries of medieval or post-medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century. The banks have been truncated by the gutters of a 19th century catch meadow irrigation system (MDV65608).
