A curvilinear ditch is visible as an earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2016 east of Sand. The ditch is orientated approximately northeast to southwest and dips in its centre into what appears to be a natural drainage valley leading to the river to the south. The earthwork does not correspond with any features depicted on historic maps. The plot is recorded on the Tithe Map as Culver Park. A later drainage gully is visible on 1940s aerial photographs above the earthwork, also visible as a subtle earthwork on lidar visualisations. The ditch is interpreted as a medieval to post-medieval field boundary that passed out of use prior to circa 1840.
