A linear bank is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs dating to 1947. The spread bank appears to be circa 4 metres in width and is roughly parallel to an extant field boundary circa 85 metres to the east. No field boundary is depicted in this location on the Tithe map and the bank is interpreted as a relict medieval field boundary that fell out of use by the mid nineteenth century. Its survival is not known, but it is not visible on later available aerial photographs and may have been levelled.
