An L-shaped earthwork ditch, circa 20m wide and northeast to southwest and northwest to southeast aligned, is visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The earthwork partly corresponds with a field boundary shown on the late 19th century First Edition Ordnance Survey map, although the eastern extension of this ditch is not shown on this map, or on later available historic maps. The surrounding historic field pattern is characterised as post-medieval enclosures. The earthwork ditch is therefore interpreted as a post-medieval field boundary which had partly fallen out of use by the late 19th century.
