A curvilinear earthwork bank, circa 3.5 metres wide, is visible on aerial photographs taken from 1960 onwards and on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. It is interpreted as a relict field boundary; its curvilinear shape indicates a likely medieval origin. It is located within a plot named Archbrook Orchard on the Tithe map, and probably therefore went out of use by the mid-19th century.
