A linear earthwork ditch or hollow circa 7m wide and 95m long is visible on the south-west facing combe slopes overlooking Moor Brook, on aerial photographs of 1946.
The visible earthwork does not correspond with any field boundary depicted on the 19th century maps available to the survey but is in keeping with the character of the surrounding field pattern, which has been characterised as probably of medieval origin.
The relict ditch is interpreted as the remains of a former field boundary potentially of medieval date, that was removed prior to 1840. The former boundary remains visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2013.
