A dark curvilinear cropmark, less than two metres in width, is visible on aerial photographs taken between 1989 and 2006. Its shape is consistent with an interpretation as a medieval field boundary. No such boundary is depicted in this location on the Tithe Map, suggesting that it passed out of use prior to the mid-19th century.
