A linear earthwork bank aligned approximately east to west is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946. A possible bank or build up of material on the south side is visible, and this may be a former field boundary or routeway. On an oblique aerial photograph of 1958, the earthwork is visible as a wedge-shaped feature that narrows to a point on its western extremity, and could therefore be a lynchet. However it is possible that this feature is entirely or predominantly geological. A linear earthwork is visible on LiDAR data captured in 2007.
