An approximately north-south orientated curvilinear bank circa 6 metres in width is visible as an earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013.
The visible earthwork does not correspond with any features depicted on the available 19th century historic maps, however it is in parallel with extant and depicted field boundaries. It is situated within a recorded area of ridge and furrow (MDV103482), also orientated north-south, and is crossed by a recorded east-west orientated field boundary (MDV103484). The historic landscape is characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields.
The earthwork bank is interpreted as a medieval field boundary, that may have formed part of a strip field system, and that passed out of use prior to circa 1840. Alternatively, it could be a ridge surviving from the former ridge and furrow system.
