A faint pale and linear cropmark of a possible levelled bank, northwest to southeast aligned, is visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2016. The cropmark does 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 is broadly in keeping with the historic field pattern depicted in this location which is characterised as post-medieval enclosures. The cropmark is therefore interpreted as a possible relict field boundary of post-medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
