An interrupted linear bank approximately 2.5 metres in width is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs dating from 1946. It appears to have been cut through by numerous natural drainage channels, and is probably a relict post-medieval field boundary. It is not depicted in the Tithe map of 1844, and is likely to have fallen into disuse before the mid-nineteenth century.
