A cropmark ditch of a possible former field boundary of potential medieval date is visible on specialist oblique aerial photographs of 1990, to the northeast of Skinner’s Farm. The north to south aligned linear cropmark generally respects the historic field patterns and may form part of a medieval field boundary, although appears to have passed out of use by the time of the parish tithe map of approximately 1838-48. Other cropmarks visible on oblique aerial photographs of 1990 appear to relate to former field boundaries depicted on the tithe map and so were not transcribed as part of this survey. The cropmark ditch was not clearly visible on other aerial photographs or digital images made available to the survey.
