A possible former ditch defined field boundary is visible on aerial photographs of 1980 as a linear east-to-west aligned cropmark to the east of Westlake Farm. The cropmark does not correspond with with any field boundaries on the Ordnance Survey first edition 25 inch map but is on a similar alignment to a boundary circa 40 metres to the north, depicted on the tithe map for Kenton. This might support the interpretation that the cropmark is evidence of a field boundary of probable post-medieval date.
