Pale linear cropmarks, interpreted as having formed over levelled, plough-spread banks, up to 20m wide and northeast to southwest aligned, are visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2002. The cropmarks do 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 are closely in keeping with the historic field pattern depicted in this location, which is characterised as medieval strip enclosures. The cropmarks are therefore interpreted as relict field boundaries of potential medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century. Some degree of caution should, however, be exercised and it is possible that the two cropmarks are also of geological origin. The cropmarks are not visible on other available aerial imagery.
