An L-shaped earthwork bank, circa 8m wide and northwest to southeast and east to west aligned, is visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The earthwork does not correspond with any 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 visible on other available aerial imagery.
