A curvilinear earthwork bank, up to 9 metres in width, is indistinctly visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. It manifests in a similar way to a relict field boundary depicted on the Tithe map circa 130 metres to the east in an area characterised as post-medieval enclosures based on medieval strip fields. It is therefore tentatively interpreted as the remains of a medieval or post-medieval boundary bank that went out of use prior to the mid-19th century.
