Summary

Probable medieval to post medieval property boundaries and two ponds or extraction pits are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs and visualised lidar data. The lidar data, from a survey flown in 2017, shows that most of the features have been levelled, although one of the ponds still survived at that date.
