Two short closely parallel north-west to south-east orientated curvilinear ditches each circa 2.5m in width and circa 3m apart are visible as earthworks on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. The ditches do not correspond to any features depicted on historic maps, but they extend from a perpendicular field boundary to the north. They are interpreted as a field boundary of medieval to post-medieval origin, that passed out of use prior to circa 1840.
