A former field boundary of potential medieval date is visible as a cropmark ditch on oblique aerial photographs of 1970, to the northwest of Kenton. The former field boundary is northwest to southeast aligned and closely respects the historic field patterns based on medieval strip fields, although the boundary ditch appears to have passed out of use by the time of the Kenton parish tithe map of approximately 1838-48. The field boundary was not visible on other aerial photographs or digital images made available to the survey.
