Curvilinear earthwork banks, mounds and ditches are visible on lidar data captured between 2013 and 2016 just south of a dog-leg in the road, near to former building MDV68950. The two mounds are close to the road, one partially corresponding with an orchard boundary depicted on the late-19h century maps. The mounds are rectangular or regular in plan, and relatively flat-topped, and may have been building platforms associated with a former medieval settlement here. Relict field boundaries, perhaps infields, are visible to the south; several of these are not depicted on the available historic maps and are likely to have gone out of use by the late-19th century.
