A curvilinear cropmark of a levelled bank circa 4m wide and 115m long is visible crossing the contours of south-west facing combe slopes o on aerial photographs of 1946. The visible cropmark does not correspond with any boundary depicted on 19th h century maps available to the survey and is interpreted as the remains of a former field boundary potentially of medieval origin that was removed prior to circa 1840.
