Several curvilinear ditches between circa 3 and 10 metres in width are visible as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The ditches are situated across two south-facing fields north-east of Milton Green.
The ditches do not correspond with any features depicted on the available historic maps. The plots are recorded as ‘Uppatwit’ and ‘Barley Eddish’. The historic landscape is characterised as ‘post-medieval enclosures with medieval elements’.
One of the ditches is faintly visible on aerial photographs dating from 2010.
The ditches appear to align with some natural water course earthworks to the south-east also visible on lidar visualisations.
The ditches are interpreted either as field boundaries of medieval to post-medieval origin, or post-medieval to 19th century drainage leading to the stream below.

The ditches have been interpreted as a possible strip field system.
