The earthworks of probable post medieval field boundaries are seen on visualised lidar data (S1). As the survey was flown relatively recently (2017) it is likely that the features still survive as low earthworks. The earthworks likely date to the post medieval period. However, an earlier, medieval date cannot be ruled out. The possible field boundaries are not recorded on the readily accessible historic maps (such as S2 and S3).It is also possible that some of the features could relate to modern agricultural activity.
