An irregularly rectilinear ditched enclosure of probable post medieval to 20th century date was visible as an earthwork to the south-east of Worth Farm on aerial photographs of the 1940s to the 1960s. The ditch appeared to abut the very straight and presumably post-medieval extant southern boundary to the east of Worth Farm, and is therefore likely to be post-medieval or later in date. It was clearly visible through the tree cover of the orchard and its irregular shape might have been a result of being cut around tree planting, therefore post-dating the orchard. The ditch remained clearly visible on aerial photographs of 1967 but had been levelled by 1999.
