A curvilinear feature is visible as a probable bank, which seems to be the route of a trackway or footpath.

A curvilinear bank is visible on an aerial photograph taken in 1977, aligned approximately north to south, south of Rosedown Farm. It is between 1 and 2 metres in width and is interpreted as a relict field boundary bank of medieval date. Part of a field boundary is depicted in this location on the Tithe map of 1844, but the map is damaged so the exact shape of the boundary in plan cannot be determined. It is not depicted on the 1880s-1890s Ordnance Survey mapping, and had presumably gone out of use by this date. A probable bank is visible on earial photographs taken in 2007 so this feature probably survives as an earthwork.
