Ridge and furrow is visible as earthworks on 1940s RAF vertical aerial photographs. The ridges cover an area c.110m (E-W) x 70m (N-S) and are sinuous in plan, indicating a likely medieval or early post-medieval date for the features. The features have been cut by modern field drains.

Examination of modern aerial photographs indicates that these features have since been levelled by ploughing [2].
