A slight curvilinear earthwork bank, circa 4m wide and northwest to southeast aligned, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946 and visualisations derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The earthwork does not correspond with any curvilinear features shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, but is in keeping with the historic field pattern depicted in this location, which is characterised as Barton fields that were laid out between the 15th and 18th centuries. The earthwork is therefore interpreted as a relict field boundary of medieval or post-medieval date that had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
