An earthwork of possible post-medieval to modern date is visible as an earthwork bank on aerial photographs of 1946 onwards and on digital images derived from LiDAR data captured between 1998-2012, to the southwest of Bow Mill Farm. The earthwork is irregular to sub-rounded in shape, measures approximately 38m in both length and width and is located alongside a historic and extant field boundary. The earthwork, which may be industrial in origin, remains partly visible as a slight bank on digital images derived from LiDAR data captured between 1998-2012.
