Summary
Two curvilinear earthwork banks, visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946 and on digital images visualised from photogrammetrically derived elevation data captured in 2015, are interpreted as the possible remains of medieval field boundaries that went out of use before the mid-19th century.

Two parallel earthwork banks, each up to approximately 6 metres wide and 33 metres apart, are visible on digital images visualised from photogrammetrically derived elevation data captured in 2015. They fit into the field pattern and are interpreted as relict field boundaries, although they are only visible on a single data source so interpretation is somewhat tentative. Their curvilinear shape indicates a likely medieval origin, but they are not depicted on the Tithe map and any field boundaries here probably went out of use before the mid-19th century.
