An L-shaped earthwork bank, circa 10m wide and north to south and east to west aligned, is visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The visible earthwork does not correspond with any features shown in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, although a prominent kink in a field boundary is visible to the north of the bank. The earthwork is in keeping with the surrounding historic field pattern, which is characterised as medieval enclosures and it is therefore interpreted as a relict field boundary of medieval or post-medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
