A T-shaped earthwork bank, circa 6m wide and northeast to southwest and northwest to southeast aligned, is visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2019. The earthwork does not correspond with any 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 medieval enclosures based on strip fields. The earthwork is therefore interpreted as a relict field boundary of medieval or post-medieval date which had likely passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
