Earthworks of curvilinear and irregularly shaped ditches, circa 10m wide, are visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The earthworks do not correspond with any features shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, but are in keeping with the surrounding historic field pattern, which is characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields. 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. Some caution should, however, be exercised as it is also possible the earthworks are of natural origin.
