A rectilinear bank, up to circa 3.5 metres wide, is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs taken in the 1940s and as a cropmark on more recent aerial photographs taken in 2010. A line of mature trees is depicted on the same alignment and location on the available historic mapping and it is interpreted as the remains of a former field boundary of medieval or post-medieval origin that went out of use by the late-19th century.
