A series of curvilinear banks are visible as subtle earthworks on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. They do not correspond with any features depicted on historic maps. The banks adjoin each other perpendicularly and are truncated by the road to the east and by a depicted field boundary to the west. One of the banks is faintly visible on aerial photographs dating to 2016. They do not correspond with any features depicted on historic maps.
The banks are interpreted as field boundaries of medieval to post-medieval origin that formed a field system that passed out of use prior to circa 1840 and prior to the establishment of the road.
