A curvilinear bank and ditch, each circa 2 metres wide, are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs taken in the 1940s. The earthworks are very clear on the 1947 aerial photographs but do not correspond to any features depicted on the available historic mapping. They may be the remains of an early-20th century field boundary. No earthworks are visible on digital images visualised from photogrammetrically derived elevation data captured in 2014 and they may have been levelled.
