A curvilinear cropmark of a ditch circa 1m wide and 60m long is visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs of 2006 and 2010. The cropmark does not correspond with any field boundary depicted on the 19th century maps available to the survey. It is interpreted as evidence of a field boundary possibly of medieval to 19th century date, cleared prior to circa 1840.
