A curvilinear ditch between 2m and 5m in width and forming a semi-circle on a south-east facing slope is visible as an earthwork on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. The ditch does not correspond with any features depicted on historic maps. It is interpreted as a possible field boundary of medieval to post-medieval origin, that passed out of use prior to circa 1840. Alternatively it could be a post-medieval drainage ditch.
