A linear earthwork bank, circa 4.5m wide and northwest to southeast aligned, is visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2019. The earthwork has been truncated by a trackway across its middle. It does not correspond with any features in this location 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 possible relict field boundary of medieval or post-medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
