A curvilinear earthwork ditch, 4 metres in width, is visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. It fits into the field system visible on the Tithe mapping which is characterised as of medieval origin, and is parallel to an extant boundary circa 34 metres to the west. It is interpreted as the remains of a medieval field boundary that fell out of use by the mid-19th century.
