Two parallel curvilinear earthwork ditches, approximately one metre wide and eight metres apart, are visible on aerial photographs taken between 1946 and 1966. They broadly follow the contour along the side of a valley, parallel to a curvilinear field boundary depicted on the 19th century mapping. They would be interpreted as the gutters of a post-medieval or 19th century catchmeadow but are not quite on the correct alignment, as both ends are a higher elevation than the centre. It is possible that they could be trackways.
