Summary
Linear and curvilinear earthwork banks, interpreted as field boundaries of a possible post-medieval field system, are visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The field system had mostly passed out of use by the mid-19th century.

Linear and curvilinear earthwork banks, circa 5m wide and variously aligned, are visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The earthworks define several rectilinear and curvilinear enclosures which measure between 25m and 60m in length. The earthworks to the east and west correspond with field boundaries shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, whilst the remaining earthworks are not shown on this map, or on later available historic maps. The surrounding historic field pattern is characterised as post-medieval enclosures with medieval elements. The earthworks are therefore interpreted as field boundaries of a possible post-medieval field system which had largely passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
