A curvilinear bank is visible as an earthwork on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. It is in broadly the same location though slightly to the east of a trackway running through woodland depicted on historic mapping. It may be the remains of a medieval or post-medieval field boundary bank that had become disused by the mid-19th century. A slighter earthwork on approximately the same alignment is visible in the field to the north although it is not clear enough to transcribe.
