Two parallel lines, 20m apart. This feature seems to change direction at the NW and one line continues to the W (site 12 on map: fig. 1).
(Undated) information in NMRS.
The supposed prehistoric cursus was sectioned (NO02SE 35.01). It was found that there were three, rather than two, ditches. The largest, apparent on several aerial photographs, lay some 25m S of the two shallow N ditches which lay only 1m apart. All three ditches and the alluvium into which they were dug produced 14th and 15th century pottery; 20cm below the level through which the S ditch was cut, a pebbled surface 4m wide was located. It was bounded on the N by a shallow channel and on the S had been cut by the ditch of the 'cursus'. The pebbling was split in two by a 20cm step down from S to N which ran along the whole exposed length of the surface. Pottery similar to that found on the linear ditched site was recovered from above and below the pebbles.

These are probably field boundaries and drains.
