Linear ditches and banks were visible to the east of Oak Farm, Kenton, as cropmarks on aerial photographs of 1984 and digital images derived from aerial photographs of 2016.
The visible cropmarks correspond in part with field boundaries depicted on the Tithe Map for Kenton. Those cropmarks of ditches and banks that do not correspond with boundaries depicted on the historic maps, are interpreted as the remains of former field boundaries potentially of post-medieval date that had been removed prior to the 1840s. Only those elements not depicted on the historic maps were transcribed by the survey and are included in this record.
