A linear earthwork bank, circa 10m wide and northwest to southeast aligned, with a short spur to the west, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946 and digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The earthwork does not correspond with any linear features shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, but is broadly in keeping with the historic field pattern depicted in this location which is characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields. It has possibly been truncated at its south-eastern extent by a field boundary of a rectilinear enclosure shown on the Tithe Map. The earthwork is interpreted as a possible relict medieval field boundary which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
