Earthworks of a curvilinear bank, interpreted as a possible relict field boundary of post-medieval date, are visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2019. The field boundary had likely passed out of use by the mid-19th century.

Earthworks of a curvilinear bank, circa 4.5m wide and northwest to southeast aligned, are visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2019. The earthworks do not correspond with any curvilinear features shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, but are in keeping with the surrounding historic field pattern, which is characterised as post-medieval enclosures. The earthworks are therefore interpreted as a possible relict field boundary of post-medieval date which had likely passed out of use by the mid-19th century. The field boundary has been truncated by one of the gutters of a 19th century catch meadow irrigation system (MDV128522).
