Possible linear ditched features of probable post-medieval or modern date are visible as cropmarks on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2010, immediately to the east of Eastdon House. The cropmarks are very straight and narrow and might simply be an artefact of twentieth century landscaping, in part relating to the removal of hedgerows visible on aerial photographs of 1946. East to west aligned cropmark of a possible bank might define the line of a former field boundary.
