A possible field boundary of medieval or post-medieval date is visible as two curvilinear parallel cropmarks of ditches on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2018. It is possible that the cropmarks are evidence of an enclosure of prehistoric or Romano-British date.

Two parallel and curvilinear cropmarks, interpreted as having formed over levelled ditches, circa 2m wide and northeast to southwest aligned, are visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken during the dry summer of 2018. The cropmarks do not correspond with any curvilinear features shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps. The cropmarks are tentatively interpreted as evidence of a possible relict medieval or post-medieval double-ditched field boundary which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century, or else a double-ditched enclosure of prehistoric or Romano-British date. A modern agricultural origin is also possible. The cropmarks are not visible on other available aerial imagery.
