A shallow curvilinear ditch, circa 5 metres in width, is visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. Its eastern end corresponds to a sharp dog-leg in the adjacent field boundaries depicted on the Tithe map, and although these have been removed, their earthwork remains manifest in a very similar way to the curvilinear ditch. The ditch is therefore interpreted as the remains of a curvilinear field boundary, of probable medieval date, that fell out of use prior to the mid-19th century. It is slight and may be difficult to discern at ground level.
