A linear earthwork bank, circa 8m wide and northeast to southwest aligned, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1986. The northeast extent of the earthwork corresponds with a field boundary of a burgage plot shown in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map. The earthwork is therefore interpreted as a relict field boundary of potential medieval date which had partly been removed by the mid-19th century.
