Earthwork banks which form part of a linear feature, circa 7m wide and north to south aligned, are visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The earthworks do not correspond with any linear features shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, but are broadly in keeping with the historic field pattern depicted in this location which is characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields. The earthworks are therefore interpreted as a possible relict medieval field boundary which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
