Appears to show a cruciform arrangement of double ditched 'droveways' or 'hollow ways'.
Sun is almost vertical and there is little shadow to define other features.
Northeast-southwest linear possibly runs from 'Old Hall' (NHER 2366) towards church (NHER 2380), but ornamental lake has removed northeast end.
