Two parallel dark linear cropmarks, circa 1 metre wide and 2.5 metres apart, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1992. They may have formed over the buried remains of former field boundary ditches, and in form they are likely to be post-medieval or modern in origin. However any boundary here would have fallen out of use by the mid-19th century, as it is not depicted on the available historic mapping.
