A dark curvilinear cropmark, up to approximately 2.5 metres wide, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1992. It is possible that it is associated with the enclosure to the west (MDV63480), but could have formed over the remains of a later field boundary, or given its location, perhaps a diversion from the ‘Cart Path’ depicted on the tithe map, which it may join at its western end.
