A linear bank is visible as an earthwork, up to 4 metres in width and aligned approximately north to south for 120 metres south of Two Pots Farm, then turning at a sharp angle to the south-east for 140 metres, on aerial photographs taken between 1947 and 1989. No field boundary is depicted in this location on the 1840 Tithe map, and it seems likely that the earthwork is the relict bank of a post-medieval field boundary that went out of use prior to the mid nineteenth century. It is not visible on later available aerial photographs and may have been levelled by ploughing, although there is potential for remains to survive.
