Two parallel banks and some further possible curvilinear banks are visible as subtle earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2016. A small enclosure with building is depicted adjacent on the First Edition OS map with several old quarries to the east. The banks are interpreted as field boundaries of probable 19th century origin, that passed out of use prior to the late-19th century.
