Two earthwork banks, up to 1.5 metres wide, are visible on aerial photographs taken from 1946 and on visualisations of lidar data captured in 2013. Their curvilinear shape suggests a medieval origin as part of a wider field system, but dating is speculative. The irregular ground surface makes them difficult to define at their eastern end.
