Linear and curvilinear earthwork ditches, circa 6m wide and northeast to southwest and northwest to southeast aligned, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946. 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 both post-medieval enclosures and Barton fields. The earthworks possibly, in part, define the northwest extent of a large curvilinear and extant land parcel. They are therefore interpreted as relict field boundaries of medieval or post-medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century. The earthworks are not visible on the available aerial imagery after 1946 and their survival is unknown.
