A linear earthwork bank, circa 6m wide and northwest to southeast aligned, is visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2005. 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 is in keeping with the surrounding historic field pattern, which is characterised as post-medieval enclosures with medieval elements. The earthwork 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.
