A dark curvilinear cropmark, up to approximately 1 metre wide, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 2010. It does not fit easily into the extant field pattern or into the curvilinear fields of medieval character as depicted on the Tithe map. It may simply have formed over the remains of a post-medieval field boundary that went out of use by the mid-19th century, although it is possible that it formed over an earlier enclosure ditch.
