Cropmark ditches of potential later prehistoric to Romano-Britsh date are visible on oblique aerial photographs of 1984 and 1994, to the east of Chiverstone Farm. The cropmarks are broadly northeast to southwest aligned and may be associated with the extensive prehistoric to Romano-British remains located approximately 130m to the north, possibly as part of outlying field boundaries. The cropmark ditches may equally represent relict medieval field boundaries since they closely respect the historic field patterns based on medieval strip fields, passing out of use by the time of the parish tithe map of approximately 1838-48.
