A linear earthwork bank, circa 7m wide and northeast to southwest aligned, is visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The earthwork does not correspond with any linear features shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, but is in keeping with the historic field pattern depicted in this location, which is characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields. 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 earthwork is not visible on other available aerial imagery.
