A curvilinear earthwork ditch, up to 5 metres in width, is visible on aerial photographs from the 1940s and more clearly on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. No field boundaries are depicted in this location on the available historic mapping, although it is parallel to similar earthworks approximately 40-45 metres to the north and south that were depicted on the Tithe map. It is interpreted as the relict remains of a medieval field boundary, perhaps based on strip fields, which went out of use by the mid-19th century.
