A low flat-topped curvilinear terrace to the south of High Hall is visible on 1940s aerial photographs and current Lidar imagery (1 and 2).

The feature comprises a flat terrace 70m wide by 35m deep with an outward curve on its south side which respects a low natural hill on which High Hall is sited. The terrace appears to be artificial and may be a landscape garden feature of possible post medieval or early modern date.
