A curvilinear earthwork ditch, 2 to 4 metres wide, is visible on images derived from lidar data captured in 2007 and 2013, south of East Wonwood. It partly corresponds with a segment of field boundary depicted on the historic mapping, and is interpreted as a relict field boundary. With the exception of a short segment, it appears to have gone out of use by the mid-19th century.
