Two linear earthwork banks, circa 3.5 metres wide, are visible on visualisations of lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. They are perpendicular to and either side of a watercourse in the parkland east of Langdon Court. Given this location, it is possible that they are the embankments of a lost bridge structure that formed part of the post-medieval formal landscape.
