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

Five curvilinear earthwork or cropmark features, visible on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards, are interpreted as relict levelled field boundaries. They fit into the surrounding field system which has a medieval character, and their curvilinear shape supports a medieval origin for these features. One of the ditches, at 290835,70236, appears to survive as a slight earthwork which is visible on digital images visualised from photogrammetrically derived elevation data captured in 2015. None are depicted on the mid-19th century Tithe maps, and they presumably went out of use before the mid-19th century.
