A dark rectilinear cropmark is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1999. It is on a different alignment to former field boundaries that are depicted on the Tithe map, and which manifest as curvilinear cropmarks on the same run of aerial photographs. The rectilinear cropmark may have formed over the remains of a medieval or post-medieval field boundary ditch, but as it is on a different alignment it could have formed over the remains of a later prehistoric or Romano-British enclosure.
