A bank visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs taken between 1946 and 1963 is likely to be a relict field boundary. It is up to approximately 2 metres in width, with a relatively sharp change in alignment. It is not depicted on The Tithe map, suggesting that it could be a post-medieval field boundary 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.
