A curvilinear earthwork bank, circa 4 metres in width, is visible on aerial photographs taken from 1982 onwards and on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. It is circa 26 metres west of and parallel to an extant boundary of medieval character and is interpreted as a relict boundary that once formed part of the medieval field pattern. It is not depicted on the Tithe map so probably fell out of use prior to the mid-19th century.
