A T-shaped earthwork bank, circa 5m wide and northeast to southwest and northwest to southeast aligned, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1969 and visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The northern extent of the earthwork corresponds with a field boundary on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, although the remaining extent is not shown on this map, or on later available historic maps. The surrounding historic field pattern is characterised as medieval enclosures which supports the interpretation that the earthwork represents a relict field boundary of potential medieval date which had largely passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
