Two irregular earthwork ditches, just over a metre wide, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1945, in the field south of Court Park Farm. They are aligned roughly cross-contour but turn to the west at their highest point. They are tentatively interpreted as Second World War military trenches, but could be drainage channels.
