A curvilinear earthwork ditch, visible most clearly on images derived from lidar data captured between 2005 and 2010, is interpreted as the remains of a removed medieval field boundary that passed out of use prior to the mid-19th century.

A curvilinear earthwork ditch, up to 10 metres in width, is visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 2005 and 2010, and is just visible as a dark cropmark on aerial photographs taken from 1947 onwards. Although no field boundaries are depicted in this exact location on the available historic mapping, the ditch is similar in morphology to other earthworks in this area that correspond to field boundaries depicted on the mapping. It is in keeping with the medieval character of fields in this area, and is tentatively interpreted as the relict remains of a removed field boundary, of probable medieval date, which appears to have passed out of use prior to the mid-19th century.
