Linear and curvi-linear terrace banks marking changes in field level of up to 2m. In the west is a large terraced mound, 10m x 15m and 1m high, associated with a rectangular area. The wide irreguarly sided linear hollows might be old river channels, flood scouring channels or the remains from marl/gravel extraction.
NB. There appears to be a palaeochannel to the east, the north side of which lines up with the eastern terrace bank. (1)
