The earthworks (since levelled) of probable medieval to post medieval field boundaries are visible on aerial photographs (S1-S2). The earthworks are not visible on the relatively recent (2017) visualised lidar data (S3) and are presumed to have been levelled. Although the features likely relate to a medieval to post medieval field boundaries, the possibility that the feature could relate a post medieval drainage ditch cannot be ruled out. The features are not recorded on the readily accessible historic maps such as S4 and S5
