Summary
Curvilinear banks and ditches, visible as earthworks and cropmarks on aerial photographs taken in 2007 and on visualisations of lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, are interpreted as the remains of relict medieval field boundaries that went out of use by the mid-19th century.

Four curvilinear earthwork banks and ditches, and one dark cropmark, up to 12 metres wide, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 2007 and on visualisations of lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. They are not depicted on the available 19th century mapping but fit closely into the surrounding field pattern. They are interpreted as the remains of medieval field boundaries, four surviving as slight earthworks, and the other as only a buried feature.
