A linear earthwork bank is visible.

A linear bank, circa 2.5 metres in width, is visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. It is 30 metres to the east, and parallel to, a similar feature that corresponds to a field boundary depicted on the Tithe map. Both earthworks are therefore interpreted as relict field boundaries, their straight alignment suggesting a post-medieval date, one of which fell out of use prior to the mid-19th century.
