A curvilinear earthwork bank, approximately 2 metres wide, is visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. Its curvilinear shape indicates a likely medieval origin which is in keeping with the character of the surrounding field pattern. It is not depicted on the Tithe map and any field boundary here probably went out of use before the mid-19th century.
