A linear earthwork bank, circa 23 by 1.5 metres, is visible on aerial photographs taken from 1963 to 1985. It is interpreted as the remains of a relict field boundary of medieval or post-medieval origin. No field boundaries are depicted in this location on the available historic maps, suggesting that any boundary here probably fell out of use prior to the mid-19th century.
