Summary
Curvilinear ditches, interpreted as possible relict field boundaries of potential medieval date, are visible as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2004 and 2013. The field boundaries had been removed by the mid-19th century.

Two curvilinear ditches, circa 12 metres wide and both orientated north-east to south-west, are visible as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2004 and 2013.
The earthworks do not correspond with any features shown 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 potential medieval date, that had been removed by the mid-19th century.
