A curvilinear earthwork bank, up to 4 metres wide, is visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. It fits into the field pattern and is interpreted as the remains of a former 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 and it is not clearly visible on the available aerial photographs suggesting that only slight remains survive.
