Earthworks of a lane or trackway, visible as a bank and ditch, a possible field division, and a pond, which is depicted on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map (S6) are visible on aerial photographs (S3-S5) as described above. The earthwork appears to be almost completely levelled by 2007 (S7). It is situated within Wrentham Park (WRE 019) and therefore a medieval to post medieval date for these features is probable.
