An approximately north to south orientated curvilinear earthwork bank is visible on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. The short section of bank appears to project to the west from its northern part. The bank does not correspond with any features depicted on historic maps and is interpreted as a medieval to post-medieval field boundary, that passed out of use prior to circa 1840.
