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

Curvilinear earthworks of banks and a ditch, circa 10 metres wide and broadly north to south orientated, are visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The earthworks do not correspond with any curvilinear features shown in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, but are largely 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 relict field boundaries of potential medieval date which had been removed by the mid-19th century.
