A curvilinear bank is indistinctly visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs taken from 1947 and indistinctly as an earthwork on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. It is not depicted on the available historic mapping, although its northern end it may have terminated at a kink in the field boundary depicted on the late-19th century OS map. It is interpreted as a relict medieval or post-medieval field boundary that went out of use by the mid-19th century.
