Two conjoined curvilinear banks are visible as an earthwork on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. No field boundaries are depicted in this location on the available historic maps and it is tentatively interpreted as the remains of a medieval or post-medieval field boundary that had become disused by the mid-19th century. It may be associated with some of the relict field boundaries noted in this vicinity (MDV116357), but was not clearly visible on any of the available aerial photographs.
