A curvilinear bank and ditch are visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs between 1946 and 2010. The bank appears to be circa 2 metres in width and the ditch 3 metres wide. The south-western part is better defined than the north-eastern and is roughly parallel to an extant curvilinear boundary to the south. It is possible that both are medieval in date and part of a field system that was mostly replaced by regular large fields in the post-medieval period; no field boundary is depicted in the location of the cropmark on the 1989 Tithe map. Below ground remains are likely to survive.
