A curvilinear bank circa 6 metres in width is visible as a subtle earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013, and visible as a cropmark on aerial imagery captured in 2010.
It does not correspond with any features depicted on historic maps, however it does align with a section of extant field boundary to the west. The land is recorded as arable and moor and the plot named ‘East Moor’ in the Tithe Apportionment. The historic landscape is characterised as rough ground and is depicted as unimproved or rough ground from the late-19th to the mid-20th century, after which it is depicted as improved.
The earthwork bank is interpreted as a field boundary of medieval to post-medieval origin, that passed out of use prior to circa 1840.
