Dark curvilinear cropmarks interpreted as having formed over levelled ditches, circa 3m wide, 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, nor are they in keeping with the historic field pattern depicted in this location which is characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields. Their morphology supports the interpretation they are of potential prehistoric or Romano-British date, with the eastern of the cropmarks possibly forming the western edge of a curvilinear enclosure. The cropmarks are not visible on other available aerial imagery.
