A curvilinear earthwork bank, approximately 3 metres wide, is visible on images derived from lidar data captured in 2010. It is roughly parallel with an extant boundary to the south and the possible orchard banks to the north appear to respect its alignment, and is probably a relict field boundary bank. It is not clearly visible on the available aerial photographs suggesting that it survives as a fairly slight earthwork. No field boundary is depicted in this location on the historic mapping, and it is likely to be medieval or post-medieval in origin, and to have passed out of use prior to the mid-19th century.
