Two linear banks, circa 1.5 metres wide, are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs taken in the 1940s and as cropmarks on more recent aerial photographs taken in 2005. No field boundaries are depicted in this location on the available historic mapping, although the north end of one of the features terminates at a dogleg in the extant field boundary. They are interpreted as the remains of former field boundaries of medieval or post-medieval origin that went out of use by the late-19th century.
