A possible cultivation terrace of potential medieval date is visible as an earthwork banked feature on aerial photographs of 1947 and on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. The linear earthwork is northwest to southeast aligned, measures approximately 140m in length by 26m in width and is situated towards the base of moderate southwest facing slope. Whilst this earthwork does appear to resemble a cultivation terrace, with other terraces visible further to the northwest (MDV116481), it is also possible this earthwork is of natural origin, such as the result of soil slippage.
