An approximately east to west orientated curvilinear bank is visible as a subtle earthwork on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. It does not correspond with any features depicted on historic maps but has a similar appearance to earthwork banks of depicted field boundaries to the north. The bank has spread up to circa 18m wide, probably a result of subsequent agricultural activity. The bank is interpreted as a further field boundary of medieval to post-medieval origin, that passed out of use prior to circa 1840.
