Three curvilinear earthwork banks, circa 1 metres in width, are visible on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards and on visualisations of lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. They fit into the extant field system and some appear to terminate at the junction with field boundaries depicted on the Tithe map. They are interpreted as the remains of field boundaries of medieval origin that went out of use by the mid-19th century.
