A curvilinear pale cropmark, circa 2 metres wide, is visible on aerial photographs taken between 1947 and 1976. No boundary is depicted in this location on the available historic mapping, although three mature trees are depicted along the alignment. The cropmark is interpreted as having formed over a medieval or post-medieval field boundary that went out of use by the late-19th century.
