Summary

Two linear ditches were visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs. They were both oriented roughly northeast-southwest, and appear to be roughly parallel to field boundaries visible on the second edition Ordnance Survey map. As such they have been assigned a medieval to post medieval date, although they may represent more modern agricultural features.
