A linear bank, circa 2.5 metres in width and aligned roughly east to west, is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs between 1959 and 1978. It is likely be a relict field boundary that subdivides a post medieval field. It is not depicted on the 1840 Tithe map and therefore presumably went out of use before the mid nineteenth century. The bank is not visible on any later available aerial photographs and may have been levelled by subsequent agricultural activity.
