A curvilinear earthwork bank is visible on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. It is not visible on the available aerial photographs perhaps suggesting that any remains are likely to be slight. It is similar in form to the remains of a removed field boundary circa 50 metres to the north-east and is tentatively interpreted as a medieval field boundary that went out of use by the mid-19th century.
