A pale linear cropmark is visible on aerial photographs taken from 1976 in the same location as a linear earthwork ditch visible on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. It runs cross contour and may be a drainage ditch, but could be the remains of a medieval or post-medieval field boundary. No boundary is depicted in this location on the available historic mapping so it would have fallen out of use by the mid-19th century.
