A curvilinear cropmark, 6 metres wide, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1947 and 1955. It fits broadly into the field system as depicted on the Tithe map, and is interpreted as the remains of a former field boundary that fell out of use by the mid-19th century. It may since have been levelled.
