Several pale curvilinear cropmarks, up to 8 metres in width, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 2010. They are very diffuse and it was only possible to confidently transcribe two. They are on the same alignment and parallel to field boundaries depicted on the available historic maps, and one of the cropmarks appears to terminate at further field boundaries to the north and south. The cropmarks are interpreted as having formed over the buried remains of former medieval field boundaries that went out of use by the late-19th century.
