A linear bank, approximately 2 metres wide and aligned roughly north to south, is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs taken in 1946. The cropmark is likely to have formed over the remains of a field boundary bank. It is very straight and likely to have a post medieval origin, although as it is not depicted on the 1840 Tithe map it probably went out of use before the mid nineteenth century. By 2007 the field had been planted with young trees.
