A linear earthwork bank, circa 6m wide and northeast to southwest aligned, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1983 and visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. 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 surrounding historic field pattern, which is characterised as Barton fields. The earthwork is therefore interpreted as a possible relict field boundary of post-medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
