Summary

Various boundaries of probable medieval to post medieval date are visible as cropmarks and low earthworks on aerial photographs and visualised lidar data. They probably represent former field boundaries. Other, similar features visible in the same fields on the same sources correspond with field boundaries depicted on 19th-century maps and are not included in the record. As the lidar survey was flown relatively recently (2017), it is likely that any earthworks still survive.
