A linear cropmark of a levelled earthwork bank was visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs of 2002. The cropmarks are interpreted as the remains of a former field boundary.
The visible earthworks do not match any boundaries depicted on the 19th century maps available to the survey but are in keeping with the character of the surrounding field pattern which has been characterised as based on medieval strip fields. The cropmark is therefore interpreted as evidence of a former field boundary of probable medieval to post-medieval date that was removed prior to the mid to late 19th century.
