A curvilinear earthwork bank, circa 4m wide and east to west aligned is visible on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards and on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. 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 medieval enclosures based on strip fields. The earthwork is therefore interpreted as a relict field boundary of medieval or post-medieval date date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
