A curvilinear earthwork bank, circa 2.5 metres in width, is visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014 and on aerial photographs taken in 2014. It fits into the field pattern, in an area characterised as based on medieval strip fields and is interpreted as a relict field boundary of medieval origin. It is very slight and not visible on other available aerial imagery, and may have been levelled by ploughing. It is not depicted on the available historic mapping, and probably fell out of use prior to the mid-19th century.
