A pale curvilinear cropmark, approximately 1.5 metres wide, is visible on aerial photographs taken between 1946 and 1988. It crosses a field boundary depicted on the tithe map, and so does not appear to fit into the surrounding medieval field system. However it is visible on a number of images spanning several decades, indicating that a below-ground feature does exist. Its curvilinear shape is typical of boundaries based on medieval strip fields, and it may have formed over the remains of an earlier (or later) phase of enclosure.
