Two linear cropmarks of ditched banks up to circa 2m wide and 40m long are visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs of 2006. The cropmarks do not correspond with any field boundaries depicted on the 19th century maps available to the survey but may be aligned on, and potentially continuations of, extant field boundaries in the adjacent field to the north-east. The cropmarks are interpreted as evidence of field boundaries possibly of medieval to 19th century date, cleared prior to circa 1840.
