A possible relict medieval field boundary is visible as a curvilinear earthwork ditch on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. If so it appears to have fallen out of use before the mid-19th century.

A curvilinear earthwork ditch, up to 6 metres in width, is visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. It is tentatively interpreted as the remains of a field boundary that went out of use prior to the mid-19th century, perhaps of medieval origin in keeping with the historic landscape of this area. However it is wide and fairly poorly defined and could be a natural feature.
