A rectilinear earthwork bank, up to circa 12 metres across, is visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. It is very slight and may be a much reduced relict field boundary. No boundary is depicted in this location on the available 19th century mapping, and it is interpreted as the remains of a field boundary that became disused at or before the time the land was militarised.
