A curvilinear pale cropmark, circa 1.5 metres wide, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 2018. Its northern end aligns with a slight kink in an extant field boundary, and it is interpreted having formed over the remains of a former field boundary bank of 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.
