A curvilinear earthwork hollow circa 15m wide and 115m long is visible crossing the contours of north facing combe slopes on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The visible earthwork does not correspond with any boundary depicted on 19th or early 20th century maps but is in keeping with the character of the medieval field pattern to the south and may be a continuation of a boundary depicted on these maps.
The hollow is interpreted as the remains of a former field boundary potentially of medieval origin that was removed prior to circa 1840.
