The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in very low-lying terrain, dissected by drains. Aerial photographs taken in 1971 (FSI 2.411/10) show a series of linear trenches and curving low earthworks. These may be part of a medieval open field system. Geophysical survey (Licence no. 07R156) undertaken in advance of proposed development identified subtle responses and trends may indicate agricultural activity but not its antiquity. Probable drainage features were identified.
