A north to south orientated curvilinear ditch is visible as an earthwork on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. It does not correspond with any features depicted on historic maps, but aligns with a field boundary extending to the south. It crosses an historic orchard (MDV131733), the earthwork planting banks of which alter slightly in orientation either side of the ditch. The ditch is interpreted as a medieval to post-medieval field boundary that may have defined the bounds of an orchard, and which passed out of use prior to circa 1840 to create one larger orchard plot.
