Summary
A linear bank, interpreted as a possible relict field boundary of medieval or post-medieval date, is visible as an earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013 and 2019. The field boundary had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.

A linear bank, circa 5m wide and orientated northeast to southwest, is visible as an earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013 and 2019.
The earthwork does not correspond with any linear features shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, but is in keeping with the surrounding historic field pattern, which is characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields.
The earthwork is therefore interpreted as a possible relict field boundary of medieval or post-medieval date that had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
