A linear earthwork bank, circa 7m wide and east to west aligned, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1978 and 1986. 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 medieval or post-medieval field boundary which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
