A curvilinear earthwork bank, approximately 2.5 metres wide, is visible on images derived from lidar data captured in 2013. It is aligned broadly north-south between two field boundaries depicted on the historic maps, and is interpreted as the remains of a medieval field boundary that fell out of use by the mid-19th century.
