Summary

A rectilinear arrangement of ditches, probably field boundaries of medieval to post medieval date, is visible as earthworks (now partially levelled) on aerial photographs. The features partially correspond with a field boundary depicted on Wendling Enclosure map. As well as acting as boundaries, they may also have served as drains. Visualised lidar data from a survey flown in 2017 shows parts of the site surviving as low earthworks.
