An earthwork terrace of uncertain date is visible on aerial photographs of 1947 onwards, to the southwest of Collipriest Diary. The clearly defined rectilinear earthwork cutting is regular in shape, northeast to southwest aligned and measures approximately 48.5m in length by 9.5m in width. It is cut into moderate northwest facing slope. The function and date of the earthwork is largely unclear, although it remains clearly visible on digital images derived from Lidar data captured between 2005 and 2012.
