Three curvilinear earthwork banks, up to approximately 3.5 metres wide, are visible on images derived from lidar data captured in 2013. They fit into the field system depicted on the historic mapping, and are interpreted as the remains of medieval field boundaries. They appear to be overlain by a later, straight boundary aligned approximately east to west. They are visible as pale cropmarks on Google Earth aerial photographs taken up until 2017.
