A complex of linear earthworks to the west and north-west of Ridge Hall. A number of the earthworks, probable ditches, are parallel and reasonably evenly spaced. These are probably former field boundaries. Between these features are further ditches connecting them diagonally; possible drainage features. Earthworks associated with an east-west trending trackway, a north-west to south east aligned bank, possibly another field boundary, and ridge and furrow are also evident (see 1 & 2).
