A curvilinear earthwork bank, circa 2.5 metres wide, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1947. At its eastern end it joins an extant field boundary on the same alignment and it is interpreted as the relict remains of a former field boundary of medieval origin. It is not depicted on the available historic mapping and is likely to have fallen out of use by the mid-19th century. It is not visible on later available imagery and may have been levelled.
