A curvilinear bank is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs taken in 1947 and 1948. No features are depicted on the available historic mapping in this exact location, although its southern end corresponds to a kink in the extant field boundary. It is interpreted as a relict medieval field boundary that had fallen out of use by the mid-19th century, and the area has since been developed.
