Cropmarks which have formed over a levelled bank and interpreted as a field boundary of unknown, but potential medieval, date are visible on aerial photographs.

The earthwork corresponds to a plantation boundary depicted here on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map, so is more likely to be of later 19th century in date than medieval. Only part of the photo reference is given in the transcription attributes, so the date of the photograph is not known.
