A linear bank, circa 6 metres wide and orientated north-east to south-west, is visible as an earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2019.
The earthwork does not correspond with any features shown in this location 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 relict field boundary of potential medieval date that had been removed by the mid-19th century. It possibly forms a continuation to a relict field boundary shown on historic maps to the immediate north-east.
