A linear earthwork ditch, approximately seven metres wide, is visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2013. It fits into the surrounding field system as depicted on the Tithe map, and is parallel to an extant field boundary 21 metres to the west. It is interpreted as the plough-spread remains of a post-medieval field boundary. No features are depicted in this exact location on the available historic mapping, and any boundary here would presumably have gone out of use by the mid-19th century.
