A curvilinear earthwork bank, up to 9 metres in width, is visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. It manifests in the same way as an adjacent earthwork that corresponds to a field boundary depicted on the historic mapping in an area that has been characterised as of medieval origin and based on strip fields. At its northern end it terminates at a kink in the field boundary depicted on the late-19th century map. It is interpreted as the relict remains of a medieval field boundary bank which went out of use by the mid-19th century.
