A curvilinear earthwork bank, up to approximately 2.5 metres wide, is visible on aerial photographs taken between 1946 and 2015. It fits 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.
