Several parallel or conjoined curvilinear dark cropmarks, all but one less than 2 metres in width, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 2010. They fit into the field pattern depicted on the Tithe map and which has been characterised as based on medieval strip fields. They are interpreted as having formed over the buried remains of ditches of medieval field boundaries that went out of use prior to the mid-19th century.
