Perpendicular linear features each defined by 1 bank, max. length 268m. Visible as cropmarks and transcribed from aerial photographs taken in 1946. Interpreted as former field boundaries of medieval or later date.

No field boundaries are depicted in the location of the cropmarks on the Tithe map. The probable former field boundaries manifesting as cropmarks are therefore likely to have gone out of use by the mid nineteenth century.
