Linear earthwork banks, interpreted as a possible relict medieval or post-medieval field boundary which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946 and visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013.

Two linear earthwork banks, circa 5m wide and northeast to southwest aligned, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946 and visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The earthworks do not correspond with any linear features shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps. The surrounding historic field pattern is characterised as post-medieval enclosures, which supports the interpretation that the earthworks represent a relict field boundary of medieval or post-medieval date which has been truncated by a later field boundary. The field boundary had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
