Three curvilinear earthwork ditches, up to approximately fourteen metres wide, are visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2013, and one of which is visible on aerial photographs taken in the 1940s. They fit into the surrounding field system as depicted on the Tithe map, and are interpreted as the plough-spread remains of medieval or post-medieval field boundaries that went out of use by the mid-19th century.
