Conjoined curvilinear earthwork banks, up to circa 4 metres wide, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1944. They do not closely conform to the field pattern as depicted on the 19th century mapping, although the western part may be contiguous with a medieval field boundary immediately to the west (MDV122623) and it is possible that they form part of the same field system. However they are not clearly visible on the available aerial imagery and it is possible that they are 20th century features.
