A linear dark cropmark, circa 3 metres wide, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 2007. It appears to be contiguous with a field boundary to the north which is depicted on the Tithe Map, and is interpreted as having formed over the remains of a levelled boundary or medieval or post-medieval origin. No features are depicted in this location on the available historic maps, and there are no traces pf earthworks on any of the available imagery. Any boundary here presumably went out of use by the mid-19th century.
