Two dark parallel linear cropmarks, 1 metre wide and approximately 2 metres apart, are visible on digital aerial photographs taken in 2002. At their northern end they terminate at a dog leg in an extant field boundary and are interpreted as having formed over the buried remains of ditches that flanked a field boundary. No boundary is depicted in this exact location on the available historic mapping and any field boundary here is likely to have fallen out of use by the mid-19th century.
