A north to south aligned linear bank, with a short offshoot to the west, circa 14m wide, is visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The earthwork does not correspond with any linear features shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, but is broadly in keeping with the surrounding historic field pattern which is characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields. The earthwork is interpreted as a possible relict medieval or post-medieval field boundary which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century. Other subtle earthworks are also visible within this land parcel on lidar images, although are interpreted as being of probable geological origin.
