Earthworks of a curvilinear ditch, circa 16 metres wide and orientated north-west to south-east, are visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013.
The earthworks do not correspond with any features shown in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, but are broadly in keeping with the surrounding historic field pattern.
The earthworks are interpreted as defining part of a possible relict field boundary of medieval or post-medieval date that had been removed by the mid-19th century.
