A linear earthwork bank, circa 4.5m wide and northeast to southwest aligned, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1951. The earthwork does not correspond with any linear features shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, but is in keeping with the surrounding historic field pattern, which is characterised as post-medieval enclosures. The earthwork is therefore interpreted as a relict field boundary of probable post-medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century. The earthwork is not visible on the available aerial imagery after 1951 and has possibly since been levelled.
