A dark curvilinear cropmark, up to 6 metres in width, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 2010. It manifests in the same way as a cropmark circa 30 metres to the west that corresponds to a field boundary depicted on the historic mapping. It is interpreted as having formed over the buried remains of a former medieval field boundary that went out of use by the mid-19th century.
