A narrow curvilinear ditch, less than 2m wide and northeast to southwest aligned, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946. The earthwork does not correspond with any curvilinear features in this location on the late 19th century First Edition Ordnance Survey map. It is interpreted as a possible 19th century water channel which had passed out of use by the late 19th century. The earthwork is not visible on other available aerial imagery owing to thick tree cover and its survival is unknown.
