Curvilinear banks and a ditch, interpreted as possible relict field boundaries of a field system of potential medieval date, are visible as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The field boundaries had been removed by the mid-19th century.

Curvilinear banks and a ditch, between 2-6 metres wide and north-west to south-east orientated, are visible as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013.
The earthworks do not correspond with any features depicted in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, but are in keeping with the surrounding historic field pattern, which is characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields.
The form of the earthworks supports the interpretation that they are possible relict field boundaries of a medieval field system which had been removed by the mid-19th century.
