A curvilinear earthwork bank, approximately 1.5 to 3 metres wide, is visible on aerial photographs taken between 1998 and 2017 and on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998-2017. It runs along a break of slope and parallel to an extant field boundary, but is not itself depicted on the available historic maps. It is interpreted as the remains of a former field boundary, although its date of origin is not clear.
