A pale linear cropmark of a possible levelled bank, circa 2.5m wide and northeast to southwest aligned, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1984. 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 in keeping with the historic field pattern depicted in this location which is characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields. It is therefore interpreted as a relict medieval field boundary which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
