A curvilinear ditch visible as a dark cropmark and a slight earthwork on aerial photographs taken between 1946 and 1963 is likely to be a relict field boundary. It is up to approximately 2 metres in width and is parallel to field boundaries of probable medieval origin depicted on the Tithe map. It is not visible on later available aerial photographs and the area has since been developed.
