Summary

Field boundaries, probably of post medieval date, are visible as low earthworks on recent (2017) visualised lidar data. As the lidar survey was flown relatively recently it is likely that the features still survive as low earthworks.

Field boundaries, probably of a post medieval date, are visible as low earthworks on recent (2017) visualised lidar data (S1). They are not depicted on any readily accessible historical maps (such as the Ordnance Survey 1st edition 6 inch map(S2)), but fit the same general pattern of enclosure, suggesting that although an earlier origin cannot be ruled out, they are generally of a post-medieval date. As the lidar survey was flown relatively recently (2017) it is likely that the features still survive as low earthworks.
