Earthworks of a curvilinear bank, circa 8m wide and northeast to southwest aligned, are visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The earthworks do not correspond with any curvilinear features shown on the late-19th century Ordnance Survey First Edition map. They are interpreted as a possible relict field boundary of medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century. It has been bisected by a later field boundary of post-medieval or 19th century date.
