A curvilinear earthwork bank, up to 3 metres in width, is visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. No field boundary is depicted in this location on the available historic mapping, and it seems to be crossed by a trackway on the late-19th century OS map. The earthwork is interpreted as the relict remains of a medieval field boundary bank which went out of use by the mid-19th century.
