A curvilinear earthwork bank, visible on aerial photographs of 1977, is interpreted as a relict medieval boundary originating from a strip field. It is approximately 5 metres wide suggesting that it has been considerably spread, and it is parallel to extant adjacent field boundaries of probable medieval date. It is not visible on later aerial photographs and may have been levelled.
