Parallel linear earthwork ditches, spaced at intervals of approximately 6 metres, are visible on images derived from lidar data captured in 2013. They run cross contour in a plot of land that was named Great Moor and described as arable and coarse pasture in the Tithe apportionment. They are interpreted as 19th century deep ploughing for land drainage and agricultural improvement.
