A north-east to south-west orientated curvilinear ditch circa 8m wide is visible as an earthwork on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. The ditch does not correspond with any features depicted on historic maps, however it aligns with a depicted field boundary to the north adjacent to a small farmstead that has now passed out of use (MDV116335). The ditch is interpreted as a medieval to post-medieval field boundary, that passed out of use prior to circa 1840.
