A curvilinear earthwork bank, up to approximately 3 metres wide, is visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. It fits broadly into the field pattern and is interpreted as a relict field boundary. Its curvilinear shape indicates a likely medieval origin, but it is not depicted on the Tithe map and any field boundary here probably went out of use before the mid-19th century. It is not clearly visible on the available aerial photographs, which might indicate that it has been subject to significant levelling activity, and that remains are likely to be slight.
