Several curvilinear banks are visible as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013 south of Sherril House. The banks are interpreted as field boundaries of probable medieval origin that passed out of use by the mid-19th century.

Several curvilinear banks are visible as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The banks are orientated approximately north-east to south-west across several south-west facing fields south of Sherril House.
The banks do not correspond to any features depicted on historic maps, however they are parallel to surrounding depicted field boundaries. One of the banks aligns with field boundaries both to the north-east and south-west. The historic landscape is characterised as ‘medieval enclosures’, ‘medieval strip-enclosures’, and ‘post-medieval enclosures with medieval elements’.
The banks are interpreted as field boundaries of probable medieval origin that passed out of use prior to circa 1840.
