Curvilinear earthwork banks, interpreted as possible relict field boundaries of potential medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century, are visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013.

Two parallel and closely spaced curvilinear banks, circa 4m wide and northeast to southwest aligned, are visible as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The earthworks do not correspond with any curvilinear features shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, but are broadly in keeping with the surrounding historic field pattern, which is characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields. The earthworks are therefore interpreted as possible relict field boundaries of potential medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
