The earthworks of a possible post medieval field boundary are seen on relatively recent (2017) visualised lidar data (S1). The date and function of the features is unknown. It is possible that the features may relate to sections of a post medieval field boundary. However, an earlier date for the features cannot be ruled out. It is likely that the feature still survives as low earthwork as the lidar survey was flown relatively recently (2017). The possible field boundary is not recorded on the readily accessible historic maps such as S2.
