A curvilinear bank, up to approximately 5 metres wide, is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs taken in 1951 and on images derived from lidar data captured in 2013. It fits in with the surrounding field system, which has been characterised as medieval in origin, and is interpreted as a relict field boundary. It is not depicted on the Tithe map so any boundary here presumably fell out of use before the mid-19th century.
