A curvilinear bank, circa 7 metres wide and orientated north-east to south-west, is visible as an earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013.
The eastern half of the earthwork corresponds with a field boundary shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map. The earthwork is also in alignment with a prominent kink in a field boundary located 8 metres to the west. The surrounding historic field pattern is characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields.
The form of the earthwork supports the interpretation that it is a relict field boundary of potential medieval date which had partly been removed by the mid-19th century.
