A curvilinear cropmark which has possibly formed over a levelled ditch, circa 1.5m wide and northeast to southwest and northwest to southeast aligned, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1960. The cropmark does not correspond with any curvilinear features shown in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps. It is interpreted as a possible ditched feature of between prehistoric to 19th century date, although could also be of modern agricultural origin. The cropmark is not visible on other available aerial imagery.
