Summary
Linear and curvilinear banks, interpreted as relict field boundaries of a medieval field system, are visible as earthworks 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 8m wide and northeast to southwest and northwest to southeast aligned, are visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The earthworks occupy an area of circa 2.2 hectares and define numerous rectilinear land parcels. Several of the earthworks correspond with field boundaries shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, although most do not correspond with any features on this map or on later available historic maps. The earthworks are in keeping with the surrounding historic field pattern, which is characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields, which supports the interpretation that they represent field boundaries of a medieval field system, most of which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
