An earthwork bank up to circa 4m wide is visible on aerial photographs of the 1940s as a slight earthwork defining a roughly circular enclosure up to 6m across. A break in the earthwork approximately 2m wide is visible on the west-facing side of the earthwork.
The date and function of the enclosure are unknown, but it is possible that the bank was the remains of a livestock pound of medieval to post-medieval date.
The bank is not identifiable as an earthwork on digital images derived from aerial photographs of 2007 and has probably been levelled.
