Rectilinear earthwork terraces or platforms were visible on aerial photographs of the 1990s onwards and digital images visualised from photogrammetrically derived elevation data captured in 2014 immediately to the west of Stockstyle Lane. The terrace or platform followed the route of the lane for circa 100 metres and was approximately 27 metres wide, bisected by an earthwork hollow and linear bank from the direction of the lane. A curvilinear ditch abutted the northern edge of the terrace.
The visible earthworks do not correspond with any features depicted on the 19th century maps available to the survey but are in keeping with the character of the surrounding medieval to post-medieval field pattern. They are interpreted as the remains of former field enclosures and a ditched boundary and trackway that probably passed out of use prior to the late-19th century.
