An earthwork bank, 3m wide, which forms a sub-circular circular enclosure, 33m in diameter, is visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2016. A small circular earthwork mound, 7m in diameter, is also possibly visible within the enclosure. It is interpreted as being of potential prehistoric date, or may represent a post-medieval or 19th century extractive pit.
