Two curvilinear earthwork ditches, up to approximately six metres wide, are visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2013. They broadly fit into the surrounding field system as depicted on the Tithe map, and appear to be cut by a catchmeadow ditch (MDV128611). They are not depicted on the available historic mapping and are interpreted as the remains of medieval or post-medieval field boundaries that went out of use by the mid-19th century.
