Summary

Boundary ditches, probably of medieval to post medieval date and perhaps defining fields or paddocks, are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs and visualised lidar data. It is clear from the lidar data, from a survey flown in 2017, that the earthworks have mostly been levelled, although a few elements may still survive.
