A curvilinear earthwork bank, circa 6m wide and northeast to southwest aligned, is visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2005. The earthwork does not correspond with any curvilinear features shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, but is in keeping with the surrounding historic field pattern, which is characterised as medieval strip-enclosures. The earthwork is therefore interpreted as a relict field boundary of potential medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
