A sub-rectangular earthwork cutting, circa 30m long by 18m wide, is visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2004 and 2013.
The earthwork corresponds with a structure that is shown within land parcel 102 on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map and which is recorded as ‘House and Yard’ on the accompanying Tithe Apportionment. The structure is also shown on the 1953-1969 Ordnance Survey National Grid map, although is no longer visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2001.
It is interpreted as a platform for a post-medieval or early to mid-19th century structure which had been demolished by the late 20th century.
