A bank circa 2.5 to 3m wide is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs of 1946 defining a roughly circular enclosure approximately 14m in diameter, in a former orchard plot south of Yollandbrook Farm.
The bank might be the remains of a former stock pound of medieval date.
The earthwork is not clearly identifiable on more recent aerial photographs and has probably been levelled.
