An earthwork bank and possible terrace of between medieval to 19th century date are visible on aerial photographs of 1947 onwards and on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016, at Livenhayes Farm. The earthworks are located on gentle east facing slope on the southern side of the farm and comprise an L-shaped earthwork bank which appears to define the extent of a rectangular shaped earthwork terrace which measures approximately 44m in length by 28m in width. The function of the terrace is largely uncertain, although may have been occupied by a structure or range of structures possibly associated with Livenhayes Farm, but which have since been demolished. The digital Parish Tithe map is incomplete here, so it is not possible to determine whether these earthworks or any such structures were extant at this time. No features are recorded here on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map.
