An earthwork of an L-shaped hollow, circa 12m wide and east to west and north to south aligned, is visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2019. The earthwork is partly overlain by a narrow bank of a medieval or post-medieval field boundary (MDV128416) and has been truncated by the gutters of a 19th century catch meadow irrigation system (MDV128413). The earthwork does not correspond with any features in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps. It is interpreted as a possible medieval or post-medieval relict field boundary or drainage ditch, although could equally be of natural origin.
