Two pale, linear cropmarks which have possibly formed over levelled banks, circa 5m wide and northwest to southeast aligned, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946. The cropmarks do not correspond with any linear features shown in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, but are in keeping with the historic field pattern depicted in this location which is characterised as post-medieval enclosures. The cropmarks are therefore interpreted as relict post-medieval field boundaries which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century. The area has been largely quarried away by 2010.
