Earthwork banks of probable 18th-19th century date are visible on aerial photographs of 1946 and 1947, to the west of Woodbury Wood. The narrow ridge and furrow cultivation banks are northwest to southeast aligned and occupy an area of approximately 1.10 hectares of southeast facing slope. The earthwork banks are no longer clearly visible on aerial photographs after 1947 and appear to have been completely levelled.
