Parallel linear pale cropmarks, circa 3.5 metres in width, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1947, in a field immediately to the north of a field depicted as orchard on the late-19th century mapping. They are aligned roughly cross-contour and may have formed over the levelled remains of banks for fruit tree planting, likely to be post-medieval or 19th century in date.
