Earthwork banks, circa 12m wide, which define a single east to west aligned curvilinear feature are visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The earthworks do not correspond with any curvilinear features shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, nor are they closely in keeping with the surrounding historic field pattern which is characterised as post-medieval enclosures with medieval elements. They possibly form a relict field boundary of potential medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
