Closely spaced curvilinear banks, circa 6m wide and parallel to the northeast facing slope, are visible as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2019. One of the banked features corresponds with a field boundary depicted on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map. The form of the earthworks supports the interpretation that they represent possible strip lynchets of medieval date. One of the banks to the west has been truncated by the gutter of a 19th century catch meadow irrigation system (MDV128396).
