A pale linear cropmark, less than 2 metres wide, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1955. It is roughly parallel with field boundaries depicted on the Tithe map and characterised as post-medieval, and probably contiguous with the extent field boundary immediately to the east. It probably formed over the remains of a field boundary bank that went out of use before the mid-19th century.
