Two curvilinear earthwork banks are visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 2013 and 2016. They are parallel to or aligned with extant field boundaries that are depicted on the late-19th century maps, and are interpreted as part of the medieval field system. No tithe map was available for this area, and it is not certain when these boundaries fell out of use.
