Pale curvilinear cropmarks, interpreted as having formed over two levelled banks, between 2m and 3m wide and northwest to southeast aligned, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1947. The cropmarks do not correspond with any curvilinear features shown in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, but are in keeping with the historic field pattern depicted in this location, which is characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields. They are therefore interpreted as relict field boundaries of potential medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century. The cropmarks are not visible on other available aerial imagery.
