An earthwork bank of a possible former field boundary of uncertain date is visible on aerial photographs of 1950, to the northwest of Green Farm. The curvilinear bank is broadly northwest to southeast aligned and may form part of a continuation of a historic field boundary depicted on the parish tithe map of approximately 1838-48 to the immediate south. Its relationship with three linear earthwork boundaries recorded to the immediate west was, however, unclear, as these features were not visible on the same aerial photographs. It is possible that this earthwork, which was only visible on aerial photographs of 1950, may have been largely levelled by the time of aerial photographs of 1969, which only shows the three linear earthworks.
