A curvilinear bank, circa 6 metres in width, is visible as a subtle earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2019. The bank is orientated approximately north-west to south-east and bisects a recorded enclosure of possible prehistoric to medieval origin (MDV75356). It does not correspond with any features depicted on 19th century historic maps. The historic landscape is characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields.
The bank is interpreted as a field boundary of medieval to post-medieval origin that passed out of use prior to circa 1840.
