An earthwork bank or dam of possible medieval date, is visible on 1946 RAF aerial photographs (S2). A linear earthwork bank runs from TF 9909 4013 to TF 9920 4005. The linear measures 135m and is 11m wide at its northern end and widens to 17m at its southern end. It has been suggested that this is a medieval dam related to the storage of fish and is associated with NHER 24412.
