A probable former field boundary bank is visible as a curvilinear cropmark on aerial photographs taken in 1964. It is circa 2.5 metres wide and 330 metres in length, and fits into the field pattern, characterised as Barton fields, some of which may be medieval in origin. No field boundary is depicted in this location on the 1839 Tithe map and the field boundary is likely to have gone out of use prior to the mid nineteenth century. No evidence a bank is visible on other available aerial photographs and it is likely to have been levelled by ploughing.
