A north to south orientated curvilinear bank and ditch are visible as earthworks on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. The earthworks delineate a subtly raised section of land in the western part of a field. They do not correspond with any features depicted on historic maps but are visible on modern aerial photographs. They are interpreted as a field boundary of medieval to post-medieval origin, that passed out of use prior to circa 1840.
