Two dark linear and curvilinear cropmarks, each circa 1.5 metres wide, are visible on aerial photographs taken between 1985 and 1999. They are interpreted as having formed over the buried remains of infilled medieval or post-medieval field boundary ditches. No field boundaries are depicted in this location on the available historic maps, suggesting that they fell out of use prior to the mid-19th century.
