North to south orientated curvilinear banks circa 8m in width are visible as earthworks on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. They do not correspond with any features depicted on historic maps, although one of the banks aligns with a kink in a depicted field boundary and may be its continuation. The banks are interpreted as field boundaries of medieval to post-medieval origin, that passed out of use prior to circa 1840.
