An l-shaped earthwork ditch, circa 14m wide and east to west and north to south aligned, is visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The earthwork partly corresponds with a field boundary shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map. It is in keeping with the historic field pattern depicted in this location which is characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields and is therefore interpreted as a relict medieval or post-medieval field boundary, defining a rectilinear land parcel, which had largely passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
