Post medieval banks and ditches are visible as earthworks on air photographs, centred at SK 5920 8842.
Narrow and broad banks are visible on a north south alignment. The features are spaced between 11m and 24m apart. Within these a short ditch is visible lying almost perpendicular.
To the north, there are two parallel banks.
These run on a west east alignment and are spaced approximately 14m apart.
It is suggested these features are associated with post medieval ridge and furrow. (4) (5)
