Linear earthwork banks, between 5-10m wide and north to south and east to west aligned are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946 and digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The southern extent of the earthworks corresponds with a field boundary shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, although the remaining earthworks to the north are not shown on this map, or on later available historic maps. The earthworks are interpreted as field boundaries of medieval or post-medieval date which had partly fallen out of use by the mid-19th century. The field boundary to the south is extant on the 2019 Ordnance Survey MasterMap.

Ordnance Survey, 2019, MasterMap 2019 (Cartographic). SDV362729.

The earthworks to the south correspond with an extant field boundary.
