Earthworks and cropmarks of medieval ridge and furrow are visible on aerial photographs (S1-S2). Earthworks of roughly southwest to northeast aligned ridge and furrow are present in a polygonal field. The ridges in the eastern part of the field appear to be broader than those in the west. Earthworks of several linear ditches are also visible in the southern part of the same field. To the west of this field are cropmarks of west to east aligned ridge and furrow. Both of these fields were under arable cultivation in 1988 and no earthworks were visible at the site (S3).
