Earthworks of a curvilinear bank flanked along its western edge by a ditch, both circa 12m wide, are visible on aerial photographs taken from 1955 onwards and on visualisations derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The earthworks do not correspond with any curvilinear features in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, although two ponds are depicted at the northwest extent of the earthworks. The origin of the earthworks is largely uncertain, although they may represent evidence of a 19th or 20th century drain. The earthworks are partly truncated by the gutters of a 19th century catch meadow irrigation system.
