Summary
A linear earthwork bank, interpreted as a relict field boundary of medieval or post-medieval date, is visible on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards and on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2015. The field boundary had presumably passed out of use by the mid-19th century.

A linear earthwork bank, circa 9m wide and northwest to southeast aligned, is visible on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards and on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2015. 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 has presumably been truncated by an east to west aligned field boundary shown on this map. The earthwork is interpreted as a relict field boundary of medieval or post-medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
