A curvilinear bank, circa 14 metres wide and orientated north-east to south-west, is visible as a subtle earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013, along steep north-west facing slope.
The earthwork does not correspond with any curvilinear features in this location on the late-19th century First Edition Ordnance Survey map, or on later available historic maps, but it is in keeping with the surrounding historic field pattern which is characterised as post-medieval enclosures. The location of the earthwork is shown as an orchard on these maps.
It is interpreted as a possible relict medieval or post-medieval field boundary that had been removed by the late-19th century, by which time an orchard had been established in its place.
The earthwork is also situated along the known recorded route of the Lumburn Leat (MDV63055) which crosses this area. It may also therefore be a surviving section of this medieval leat.
