A curvilinear earthwork bank, circa 4.5 metres wide, is visible on visualisations of lidar data captured in 2013. It fits into the surrounding extant field pattern and is interpreted as the subtle remains of a relict medieval field boundary. It is not depicted on the available historic mapping and any field boundary here presumably went out of use by the mid-19th century.
