Summary

Three pale curvilinear cropmarks, up to 2.5 metres wide, are visible on aerial photographs taken between 1955 and 1999. They are interpreted as having formed over removed field boundary banks, likely to be of post-medieval date, although the northernmost appears less regular and less in keeping with the extant field system, so may have been earlier. No field boundaries are depicted in this location on the late-19th century OS map, and these boundaries presumably fell out of use prior to this point.
