Two linear banks or possibly lynchets in an irregularly shaped field are visible on a single run of oblique aerial photographs dating to 1959. Approximately 22 meters apart, it is possible that these were created or formed at the edge of strip fields during the medieval period. The photograph could not be rectified to an acceptable standard so the transcription is a sketch only. As the site has been redeveloped for housing it is extremely unlikely that any remains survive.
