A linear earthwork bank, circa 6m wide and northwest to southeast aligned, is visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. 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 closely 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.
