Interrupted curvilinear dark cropmarks, approximately 1.5 metres wide, are visible on digital aerial photographs taken in 2015 and 2018. They fit into the historic field system depicted on the 19th century maps and are interpreted as the remains of conjoined former field boundaries of medieval origin.
