A curvilinear bank, circa 6m wide and northwest to southeast aligned, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1945. The earthwork does not correspond with any curvilinear features shown in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, but is closely in keeping with the historic field pattern depicted in this location, which is characterised as post-medieval enclosures with medieval elements. The earthwork is therefore interpreted as a relict field boundary of medieval or post-medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century. The possible earthwork is not visible on later available aerial imagery and has probably been levelled.
