A linear earthwork ditch, circa 5m wide and northeast to southwest aligned, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946 and 1957. The earthwork does not correspond with any linear features shown in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, but is in keeping with the historic field pattern depicted in this location, which is characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields. The earthwork is therefore interpreted as a relict field boundary of potential medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century. Aerial imagery taken between 1999-2000 shows that the area has been developed for residential housing and the relict field boundary is very likely to have been levelled.
