Cropmarks which have formed over a levelled bank interpreted as a field boundary of unknown, but potential medieval, date are visible on aerial photographs.

The cropmark closely corresponds to a field boundary depicted on the Second Edition Ordnance Survey map, so may be of late 19th or early 20th century in date. Only part of the photo reference is given in the transcription attributes, so the date of the photographs is not known.
