A curvilinear earthwork bank approximately 2 metres wide is visible on aerial photographs taken between 1948 and 1965. It is not depicted on the available historic mapping but it is parallel to a curvilinear field boundary depicted circa 40 metres to the north on the Tithe map. It is interpreted as the relict remains of a former field boundary bank of likely medieval origin. The earthwork is not visible on later available imagery and the area has now been developed for housing.
