Two parallel curvilinear banks are visible as earthworks on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. The banks are in parallel, between circa 20m and 40m apart and approximately north-east to south-west orientated. The south-west part of the southernmost bank corresponds with a section of field boundary depicted on the Tithe Map.
The banks are interpreted as field boundaries of medieval origin, that may have formed part of a strip field system and that passed out of use prior to circa 1840.
