Linear earthworks of a ditch flanked by a bank, each circa 6m wide and northeast to southwest aligned, are visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. The earthworks do 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 are in keeping with the historic field pattern depicted in this location which is characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields. They are therefore interpreted as a relict medieval or post-medieval ditch and banked field boundary which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
