Earthworks of former field boundaries and building platform of potential medieval date are visible on aerial photographs of 1950 onwards, at the former farmstead of Brymery Diary, with which the earthworks are likely associated. The earthworks, which are partly defined as field boundaries on the parish tithe map of approximately 1838-48, comprise a series of linear co-axial earthwork ditches which are northeast to southwest and northwest to southeast aligned. Four small rectilinear shaped plots up to 0.31 hectares in size and visible on the western side of the former farm may represent evidence of former gardens, orchards and stock pens. An area of possible levelling representing a building platform for the farm appears to define the northern edge of the earthworks.
