A pale curvilinear cropmark, approximately 1.5 metres wide and with darker indistinct cropmarks bordering its south and north edges, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1947. Its eastern end terminates at a dog-leg in the extant field system, characterised as medieval in origin, and it probably formed over the remains of a field boundary bank with flanking ditches. No field boundary is depicted in this location on the historic mapping, indicating that this was a medieval or post-medieval boundary that passed out of use prior to the mid-19th century. Slight below-ground remains may survive.
