A linear earthwork ditch, approximately 3 metres wide, is visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 2013 and 2016. It could be a drainage ditch, but its eastern end terminates at a kink in the field boundary depicted on the late-19th century maps, and it may be the remains of an earlier field boundary.
