Two parallel north to south orientated curvilinear banks flanking a section of ditch are visible on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. One of the banks continues to the south-east. The earthworks do not correspond to any features depicted on historic maps. They are interpreted as a field boundary of medieval to post-medieval origin, that passed out of use prior to circa 1840.
