The earthwork does not correspond with any curvilinear features in this location. A watercourse is, however, shown to the immediate west.

A narrow curvilinear ditch, less than 2m wide, is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards and on visualisations derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The earthwork does not correspond with any curvilinear features shown on the late 19th century First Edition Ordnance Survey map, although a possible watercourse is shown to the immediate west. The earthwork, which closely follows the contours of the south facing slope is therefore interpreted as a possible 19th century water channel.
