Linear earthworks of banks flanked by ditches, circa 10m wide and northwest to southeast and northeast to southwest aligned, are visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The earthworks to the south and west correspond with field boundaries shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, although those to the north do not correspond with any features 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 relict field boundaries of medieval or post-medieval date which had partly fallen out of use by the mid-19th century.
