A curvilinear earthwork bank, up to 3 metres in width, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946 and 1963. It is parallel to other curvilinear field boundaries that are depicted on nineteenth century mapping, and is likely to be the remains of a field boundary of medieval origin that went out of use by the mid nineteenth century. It is not visible on later available aerial photographs and the area has since been developed.
