A curvilinear earthwork bank, up to circa 7 metres wide, is visible on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. It appears to be a continuation of a field boundary immediately to the north and its layout suggests a medieval origin. It is not depicted on the available historic mapping suggesting that it fell out of use by the mid-19th century. It is not visible on the available aerial photographs and this, together with its width suggest that it may have been spread by ploughing and difficult to determine on the ground.
