A curvilinear bank circa 4 metres wide and running approxiately east to west is visible as an earthwork on images derived from Lidar data flown in 2007. No boundaries are depicted here on the 1840 Tithe map, and the bank may be a relict medieval field boundary which went out of use before the mid-nineteenth century, perhaps when the land was emparked. However this interpretation is based on a single source and the form of the feature needs to be verified on the ground.
