A curvilinear earthwork bank, up to 10 metres in width, is visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. It is located in an area that has been characterised as of medieval enclosures, but is not depicted on the late-19th century mapping. It is tentatively interpreted as the relict remains of a medieval field boundary bank which went out of use by the mid-19th century. Its width and the fact it was not identified from any of the aerial photographs suggests that it may be slight, perhaps having been spread by ploughing.
