An approximately north-south orientated bank circa 7 metres in width is visible as a subtle earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013.
The bank does not correspond with any features depicted on the available 19th century historic maps, however it is parallel with adjacent field boundaries. It is faintly visible as a cropmark on aerial imagery dating to 2017. The bank is interpreted as a medieval to post-medieval field boundary that passed out of use by circa 1840.
