Two curvilinear banks are visible as earthworks on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. The banks create two semi-circular enclosures on the edge of a pasture plot recorded as 'Barley Arrish' in the Tithe Survey. The northernmost enclosure is circa 35m by 20m, and the southernmost enclosure is circa 20m by 20m. Both enclosures appear to be bisected by approximately east to west orientated curvilinear banks. The earthworks do not correspond with any features depicted on historic maps. The northernmost enclosure bank is faintly visible on aerial photographs dating from the 1940s. They are interpreted as possible animal pounds of medieval to post-medieval origin.
