A linear earthwork bank, circa 2.5 metres wide, is visible on aerial photographs taken from 1946 and on digital images visualised from photogrammetrically derived elevation data captured in 2015. It is interpreted as the remains of a former field boundary and its curvilinear shape indicates a likely medieval origin. It is not depicted on the available 19th century mapping and is likely to have gone out of use by the mid-19th century.
