A linear earthwork ditch, circa 12m wide and northwest to southeast aligned, is visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2019. The earthwork does not correspond with any linear features shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, but does probably represents an extension to a curvilinear field boundary visible at its northwest extent. The surrounding historic field pattern is characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields. The earthwork is therefore interpreted as forming part of a more extensive field boundary of potential medieval date of which this section had fallen out of use by the mid-19th century.
