A T-shaped earthwork bank, circa 6m wide and north to south and east to west aligned, are visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The earthwork does not correspond with any 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. The earthwork is therefore interpreted as a possible relict field boundary of medieval or post-medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century. The field boundary has been truncated by extractive pit MDV125882.
