A curvilinear cropmark, circa 2.5 metres wide, is visible on aerial photographs taken from 1947 onwards. No boundary is depicted in this location on the available historic mapping, and the cropmark is interpreted as having formed over a medieval or post-medieval field boundary that went out of use by the mid-19th century.
