Two areas of ridge and furrow are visible as earthworks on 1940s RAF vertical aerial photography [1].

The ridge and furrow is very linear and fairly narrow so is likely to be post-medieval rather than medieval in date. The features appear to have been levelled and the area is now developed as a static caravan park [2]
