A curvilinear, somewhat irregular earthwork bank and ditch is visible on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016 and visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs taken from 1947 onwards. The westernmost segment is parallel to some similar features to the north recorded in MDV118143 and the feature is interpreted as the remains of a field boundary that pre-dated the parkland around Widworthy Court.
