A curvilinear bank, up to 14 metres wide, is visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. It is sited on a hilltop and could be the remains of a banked prehistoric enclosure. However, its scale and irregular width suggests that it could be of geological origin. It may be associated with several irregular mounds within and close by (MDV123315).
