Dark curvilinear cropmarks, up to approximately 4 metres wide, are visible on aerial photographs taken in drought conditions in 2018 and partially visible on earlier images taken in 1999. They curve across the slope, and could have formed over the remains of former trackways or hollow ways linking the lower to the higher ground. They do not fit into the historic field pattern depicted on the 19th century mapping, and are thought likely to pre-date the boundaries depicted on the Tithe map. However interpretation is not certain and it is possible that they could have formed over former boundaries or geological features.
