A linear earthwork bank, circa 4m wide and northwest to southeast aligned, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946. 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. The earthwork is interpreted as a relict field boundary of medieval or post-medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century. The earthwork is not clearly visible on the available aerial imagery after 1946 and its survival is unknown.
