A linear cropmark which has formed over a levelled bank, up to 5m wide and northwest to southeast aligned, is visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2014. The cropmark largely corresponds with a field boundary shown in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, although the remaining extent of this boundary appears un-surveyed. The surrounding historic field patterns are characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields and the cropmark is therefore interpreted as a relict medieval field boundary which has passed out of use by the late 19th century.
