A curvilinear earthwork bank up to 4 metres wide is visible on aerial photographs taken from 1947 and on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. It is not depicted on the available historic mapping but may be a continuation of a boundary immediately to the north that is depicted on the historic mapping. It is interpreted as the relict remains of a former field boundary bank of likely medieval or post-medieval origin.
