A dark cropmark, approximately 1.5 metres wide and 150 metres long, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1984. It broadly fits into the field pattern, and may be a continuation of a field boundary to the west that is depicted on the Tithe map, the curvilinear shape of which is suggestive of a medieval origin. However the cropmark is only visible on aerial photographs taken in a single year, and is irregular in parts, so interpretation is tentative. No features are depicted in this exact location on the Tithe map and any field boundary here probably went out of use before the mid-19th century.
