A curvilinear bank, circa 4 metres wide and orientated north-east to south-west, is visible as an earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2010 and 2013, parallel to the south-east facing slope.
The earthwork does not correspond with any features in this location on the late-19th century First Edition Ordnance Survey map but is in keeping with the surrounding historic field pattern, which is characterised as medieval enclosures. It also, however, corresponds with the known course of the Lumburn Leat which crosses this area.
The earthwork is therefore interpreted as a possible medieval or post-medieval field boundary that had been removed by the late-19th century, or the surviving medieval remains of the Lumburn Leat.
