Linear cropmarks, visible on aerial photographs of 1946, are probably forming over the remains of levelled field boundaries. Two possible boundaries can be seen, the right angled corner of one field boundary, and a second abutting this to the north. These fall within the pattern of the extant surrounding field system, with which it appears to be contemporary, which appears to be post-medieval in origin.
