Two curvilinear banks are visible as earthworks on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. One of the banks is orientated north-east to south-west, curving at its north-east end. The other bank is orientated north to south. Both banks are circa 3m in width. One of the banks partially corresponds with a field boundary depicted on the Tithe Map. The banks are interpreted as field boundaries of medieval to post-medieval origin, that passed out of use prior to circa 1840.
