Earthworks of a curvilinear ditch, circa 6m wide, flanked on its eastern side by a bank, circa 3m wide, are visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The north to south aligned earthworks do not correspond with any curvilinear features shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, but are in keeping with the historic field pattern depicted in this location, which is characterised as medieval enclosures. The earthworks are therefore interpreted as a relict field boundary of potential medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
