Pale linear cropmarks which have possibly formed over levelled banks, circa 5m wide, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946, to the west of Kellinch Farm, Denbury and Torbryan. The two linear and parallel cropmarks, the southern-most of which is barely perceptible, are northeast to southwest aligned and are in keeping with the surrounding historic field pattern which is characterised as post-medieval enclosures with medieval elements. They do not, however, correspond with any linear features on this map, or on subsequent available historic maps and are therefore interpreted as relict medieval or post-medieval field boundaries which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
